Obviously used to offload/load something. Marfa doesnt strike me as the grain production center of the world so maybe they exported sand, or gold??? Nice find I drove around Marfa for two days and never spotted this! Posted by Emperor Wang 10/2/2007 11:44 PM | remove   Beats me too. The electric motor looked kinda puny for a bulk loading/unloading operation. And the 2 voids visible in the main pic appear to give trackside access to the underside of the platform, leading me to reject the scale theory. Is the chamber beneath the platform big enough to accommodate a box car's worth of likestock? Posted by Jonsered 10/3/2007 10:23 PM | remove   It didnt' appear to be that big. I've spent a lot of time around cows, and I'm guessing more like 4 or 5 full size steers at best. Posted by Jonsered 10/3/2007 10:26 PM | remove   Oh yeah, the two voids you can see in the front are actually only rectangular slots in the concrete facing, about 4 feet wide and three feet deep. Neither provides access to the underside. Posted by Emperor Wang 10/4/2007 12:24 AM | remove   So much for my theory, then. I was thinking along the lines of an "exfestation" station for livestock in transit. Got any more pics you can post? Posted by Jonsered 10/4/2007 8:54 PM | remove   Unfortunatley no. Ran out of batteries and left. That Kodak 7530 is a power hog! Posted by PorkChopExpress 7/13/2010 8:03 AM | remove   Random Jonesered. If you'd like to add a comment, please login or register.
