Cemetery Index
Cardenas is twelve miles northwest of
Yeso on the AT&SF RR. This small settlement was created
by the railroad as a water station for the coal fired
steam locomotives.
Six railroad men died while serving
this way station over a period of several years. The
station was discontinued ca. 1950.
There being no other
town nearby, the deceased were buried on the RR property
adjacent to the rail line on the south side of the
track.
