The D&RGW had Flanger OH in Durango from the 1920s on, it wore out and was replaced by Flanger OD when the D&RGW closed the Ouray branch and moved OD to Durango. The last time the D&RGW ran a flanger on the Silverton was 1965. Flanger OD is now at the Pioneer Museum in Gunnison.
Bradshaw wanted to run winter trains to Cascade so as soon as they got OF from the scrapper, they got it ready to run and have used it many times since then. The history of flanging on the D&S is in RGMHS Prospector Magazine Volume 11 Number 2.
