Re: Rolling stock in Durango.

Yeah, there are four standard-gauge stock car bodies on narrow gauge trucks (non-functional) in the yard. The cars were available for sale at the last auction several years ago, but I recall the minimum price based on their assessed value was rather stiff. There's not much to them, just the walls, floor, doors but no brake rigging and rough draft gear, etc. They could be restored for display as standard gauge cars, i guess. I don't believe the railroad has plans for them, except possibly as roof donors for new passenger gons (unlikely) or as storage units off-track. Personally, I'd like to seem them gone so we can use the track space and freight trucks.

Thanks for your interest.
