A contractor moving an historic train depot in Goodyear negotiates an intersection on Cotton Lane Feb. 24 in Goodyear. While this classic SP station its not located by the UPRR mainline, it has been saved by the city! If we ever get commuter rail... it may return north to the tracks if Goodyear chooses to use it for Transportation/historic purposes.
