As a follow up on the boxcar 3543, I took a look at it last evening on my daily bike ride that somehow includes the depot area. The car is the worse for wear and several moves. The roof walk is falling off, the brake beams are all askew maybe from the last moving effort, a knucke is missing, and the several years old paint job needs renewing, hopefully going back to the traditional D&RGW boxcar red when repainted again. And the interior has become the repository for a variety of junk items. With some work, it would make a nice display car once again.
The Silverton area had heavy rains yesterday, and over the past weekend, snow was actually reported down in the canyon. This should help the fire situation locally.
