Truly Abandoned

While returning from a western trip in January, we were driving thru Dulce (Dul-cee) in Northern NM and came upon these abandoned RR cars in the middle of town. Looks like the remnants of narrow gage stock cars from the Denver & Rio Grande Western Railroad. Its apparent from their condition, they've been there for quite a long time.
What's a rarity is there is no graffiti on these cars....

You see quite a few of these here in Montana. Homesteaders, Farmers, Ranchers would buy used ones nearing end of service from the Railroad for short term shelter, stables, storage etc.

Blaster, Dulce is a remote community and is bordering Jicarilla the Apache Nation. The Apaches are smarter than to degrade their heritage with the likes of graffiti.
