Re: Carson & Colorado and Sumpter Valley Ry Team Up To Save 3 SPng Boxcars!

Folka,

The SP #1C was in Work Train Service from 1946 to 1950. I suggest that this 1905 box car be re-numbered to either C&C #354 or SP #354. Those numbers make more sense for a
revived railroad called the Carson & Colorado.

Both the SP # 12 and #20 were built by the Carter Brothers in 1890 for the South Pacific Coast Railroad. In 1906 they went to the Nevada & California which later became the Owens Valley Line.

The three cars were in the William Harrah collection before going to Gary's Silverwood Theme Park.
