Some years ago we spent a night in a motel in Caliente, going E to W (via the ET highway). Across from us was a large open area and large historic RR station. Apparently the town used to be a major reststop for the trans continental passenger trains.
I also read that the town's motels where venues for polygamous weddings (from nearby Utah/Arizona).
The diner by the RR station had an interesting pressed tin ceiling, but unremarkable food.
