More rail cars show up in Antonito? 2 stock cars, 1 box car and what else? Anyone have car numbers?

I am guessing that they were traded with the Durango & Silverton for one of the flat-roofed coaches.

I'm not so sure about that Jack, The coaches were revenue cars for the railroad and will be for the D&S. The cars Craig mentioned would be "for show" and not income producers. The circumstances behind them could be interesting

Almost certainly as the rolling stock seems to find its way to the CRF eventually. I don't know though so I'm just 'speculating'
