Several years ago the D&SNG RR bought these two cars. They were displayed at Silverton behind the depot, along with #493 and several other freight cars.
This past summer during the major forest fire North of Durango, D&SNG needed some water cars to use in a "fire train."
The cars were repaired, repainted black, one lettered D&SNG 0473, the other still in black paint (unlettered) when I last saw them at Rockwood in late August.
