The crew change is actually at Pecos SIDING, just a few miles west of Pecos. UP caused a hell of lot of confusion when they built the new siding and named it "Pecos Siding" because Pecos also had a siding. The first eastbound crew actually ran to Pecos (the town) and got fired prompting an engineer friend of mine in El Paso to call UP the "masters of confusion".
