Help!!!

Yeso: Pounds' Santa Fe Depots - The Western Lines says this depot exists on a ranch east of Vaughn, but numerous searches have come up emptyhanded. Anyone know where in Vaughn this building is?
Farley: Pounds' Santa Fe Depots - The Western Lines reports "what may well be the former Farley depot" in use as a residence at Sofia, NM. Can anyone confirm this?
Fierro: Pounds' Santa Fe Depots - The Western Lines says the Fierro depot exists in Fierro. A search in 1994 turned up a small building with faded yellow paint, green trim, and a red roof, but no railroad markings. It was located across the road from the tracks in Fierro. Can anyone confirm if this is, in fact, the former Fierro depot?
