The article doesn't completely explain why the town died so fast. It states that the railroad (Southern Pacific) stopped using the place as a water stop when they switched from steam to diesel locomotives. Apparantly, the well for the water tank of the railroad must also have been the water supply for the homes and businesses of the town, and when they shut off the pumps the town found itself without a water source, thus compelling abandonment. It would have made sense to clarify that issue.
