No, but with all the trucks we are getting for our work in Alder Gulch we will be able to put all of them back on rails. The A/G trucks still have UTLX stenciled on them! This week the Antonito guys are working on putting on all of the foot walks and hand rails back on.
We are looking for correct couplers, brake rigging and the rest of the missing draft gear so if anyone has knowledge of where we can find them, please let the Friends know. Hopefully when these cars are done, we can assemble a pretty accurate tank car train for people to photograph.
Thanks for the added information Mark. Art Randall is already working on setting up a 'Great tankcar truck swap' work session project for next year. The A/G trucks are for the most part complete and in good condition. Swapping out TWELVE trucks will be a job though.
