Ken,
Sorry for getting it wrong and thanks for correcting this as well.

I took the info from Mal Ferrell's caption in "The South Park Line" book on pg326.
quoting: "C&S 7298 former DL&G(UP) 24148, an original 26-foot DSP&P car in the 560-739 series, built by Litchfield in 1879. Next to it is C&S 7681 formerly Kansas Central(UP) 25192."

Digerness in Mineral Belt V11 said UP 2592 and C&S 7298 were the two cars at St Elmo.

When I saw them in 1992 very little paint was left to id them.
