C&S in the North - WP&YR

To my knowledge, the most numbers of former Colorado & Southern box cars are still away from their home in Colorado. Way up North in Alaska and the Yukon. But only two are in running condition. WP&YR 708, ex. C&X #8336 and WP&YR 742, ex. C&S #8313.
Over the years, I see that every year some old equipment rot away or was destroyed or turned down by their owner.
Does some of the list member have any color image of the ex. C&S box car after they were shipped to Alaska by the United States Military?
I have seen a color movie from 1943 or 44 with former C&S box cars in green military colors.
More can be seen on this link.
