Each section of a railroad has its own section crew who are responsible for the upkeep of the rails and right of way. In Wickenburg the railroad provided a bunkhouse for the crew while a house was provided for the section crew foreman. The crew bunkhouse burned down in the past but the house remains at 279 Railroad St., now known as Frontier St. The house is a frame structure on a concrete slab with a gabled metal roof. There is a basement and a concrete stoop and risers give access to both the front and rear door. It appears to be in good condition.
