Indeed the trucks have always been a mystery. The caboose was scraped in the late 40's and, after serving as a shed, came to the Salida Park in about 1954(?).

The trucks came from the scrappers in 1955 when the narrow gauge was being removed from Salida... but from what tender or from what car, we may never know.
