D&RGW Water Sevice Bunk Car 04432

The Durango Railroad Historical Society has received a grant from the State Historical Fund of History Colorado to acquire and restore several cars. One of the cars being restored is D&RGW Water Service Bunk Car 04432. This car was one of Lindsey Ashby’s cars and was in Georgetown for several decades. During that time, or perhaps earlier, the roof was changed, using modern materials such as plywood and insulated with Styrofoam boards. The roof will be the major item to be replaced as the car is restored.

We are looking for any photographs, sketches and drawings of the car, particularly the interior configuration as it was when in service on the D&RGW and details of the roof construction.
