Brian,
Grant C-16s blanketed the 4th Division & RGS up into 1927 - after that the larger engines and depression sent smaller engine into storage/scrapping. Only C-16 I've never yet seen a reference/photo of being stored is 223. Every Grant touched the RGS rails some time during it's existance.
An example:
RIO GRANDE SOUTHERN RR
August 1917
For rental of D&RG locomotives in service on this line during the month of August 1917.
Engine: 205 31 days
206 22 "
219 9 "
241 3 "
263 1-1/2"
265 1 "
----------------
Total: 67-1/2 days @ $6.00 per day=$405.00
