I've been reading between the lines here and reconstructing what probably happened. I am very familiar with both areas here in Cochise County.

I doubt the older woman was alone. She probably crossed with others and a coyote at night just east of The Great Wall of Arizona and they were following the railroad tracks to the south end of Bisbee and one of the sahe houses there. That abandoned railroad bridge is not in good repair; one misstep in the dark and you're toast.

The younger woman and her companions probably crossed just west of the Great Wall and followed that set of tracks northwestwards for a ride somewhere north of Hereford. It's only about 8 miles north of the border as the crow flies, but more like 15 to 20 if you're skulking through the brush and arroyos. Very little shade to speak of until you reach the San Pedro River.

I wonder if the women were pregnant ---very possible and that would make the trip that much more dangerous.

There just is no safe way to get to the highways at night without exposing yourself to the BP.

The desert is a harsh mistress, she'll kill you in ways you never thought possible if you don't respect her.
