The 30 ft. car is a D&RG mail car built in 1879, numbered 1-5, renumbered in 1885 to 50-54. Cars out of service by 1900. 51 became 051 by 1904 as a construction car, possibly used until 1939. According to John Maxwell the car body was still on the ground by the stock yards in Alamosa in 1955. Maxwell's drawing is D-11 done in 1949. Al Kamm did a drawing probably based on Maxwell's work which was published in RAILROAD MODEL CRAFTSMAN issue of August 1964.
