A tourist information building is within 100 yards (south) and I was in there. They knew nothing about it. No curiosity anymore, I guess.
Card Ore Car LSide | C S CARD ORE CAR -
This C. S. Card tagged ore car was recovered from the Graphic-Waldo Mine near Magdalena, New Mexico.
"The swivel/dump ore car came from the Waldo, level 9, and is therefore from the 1906-1949 workings. (History compliments of Phil Kozushko, NM Tech, Socorro, NM) The C. S. Card Iron Works Company of Denver was established in 1892 and was a major supplier of mine haulage and handling equipment. The car is thought to be standard type model Z-18 with 10 in. wheels and a capacity of 18.3 cu. ft. The inside dimensions are 44 in. length, 30 in. width and 24 in. deep. It stands 40 in. above the rail with the bottom constructed of 3/16 in. steel." ~ Miscellaneous Mining Items
