The 2 box cars and 1 refrigerator car became the passenger cars. The caboose didn't look "western" enough so it was rebuilt. It was also numbered 0500!!!!! It served the amusement park well, but the whole thing shut down after just over 1 year of operation. The train sat there for several years. It was then moved to the town of Monument....north of Colorado Springs and put on display. Around 1970 it was moved back to Magic Mountain....then renamed Heritage Square and was turned into a resturant.
