SC #1. Built out of the family car of the new owner of the lake City Branch by a Denver firm (1933). had problems tracking, rebuilt by RGS ('34-'35) went to RGS after SC scrapped (1937). Not sure if they bought it or took it in return for $$ owed.
Used as a parts source, a lot of it is supposed to have ended up on #2, the express box became a shed for record storage behing the roundhouse at Ridgeway.
