And of course who could forget the Tonopah boom in Nevada and the interchange between the Tonopah RR and the Carson and Colorado which lasted a brief few years.

During this boom time the SP brought in various cars from the South Pacific Coast to supplement the existing fleet of cars. And the Tonopah leased two or three D&RG class 56 2-8-0s. So there is a photo in Tonopah with #66 hauling a SPC flat car and a C&C iron-pipe-frame flat car.

This is a detail of a much larger photo:
