If I recall what Unca Bob wrote, the "last train" on the RGS turned out to be 3 trains. Some loads of Utility poles and cars of automobiles showed up to go to Dolores. The weather was bad, only one engine crew was available (I think everyone else on the RGS had gone to other jobs)so the train was cut in half. The poles when over first. A few days later, the cars of automobiles when over. The actual final run was after this using #20. I think #20 went over to pick up the empties and bring them back. Bob decided he had enough of fighting snowlides on Wolf Creek Pass and didn't go over to see it. Bob said the crews looked for him on the trip and were disappointed that no one took any pictures.

The actual "last train" on the RGS was undocumented.
