Photo Comment: This photo looks toward the railroad tracks from the northwest side of the motel. Its a decent view. The northeast side of the building (front of motel) would be the preferred rooms for a railroad view. Those rooms are closer, and face the tracks directly. This Union Pacific Railroad line is busy, 40 + train's daily (24-hours) along with a couple of Amtrak train's. Indio is located between L.A. and Yuma, Arizona on the former Southern Pacific mainline "East Line".Indio, CA - Best Western Date Tree Hotel (Not Rated)

Photo Comment: The three building's situated around the swimming pool is the Best Western Motel. You need a room in the front of the building closest to the center of the photo to have a railroad view. The single track line become double track just east of the motel. Indio once had a nice size yard during the Southern Pacific days. UP still maintains a small yard in town.
