The Route 66 Shield, on this derelict gas station says "Budget Fuel" also there is a hand painted sign saying "Truck, RV, & Auto service".
There appears to be an antique store next door, also abandoned.
Another famous abandoned Route 66 icon is just around the corner 'The Bug Ranch'
I found this blog, sort of confirms the reason for the closure:
Subject: Conway and Estacado
"Town dried up after Interstate 40 routed a half mile north. My distant cousins' family operated the motel, er, tourist court, there as well as a cafe. Cousin Johnny made spare change at the filling station running a wrecker service on Route 66. He charged rich folks plenty, but a family in need he didn't charge at all." Text Source: (
