Re: Long shot box car info

A little more information.

AUTHORITY FOR EXPENDITURE (AFE) 2929

DESCRIPTION:
Retire and dismantle eight narrow gauge box cars numbered
3099, 3105, 3293, 3337, 3370, 3587, 3626 and 3743.

PURPOSE AND NECESSITY:
These old box cars are in poor physical condition and require
general repairs. We have been offered $1,920 by the Idarado
Mining Company, Ouray, Colorado, for the car bodies. In view of our declining narrow gauge operations, these cars are not needed, and therefore recommend that the cars be retired; car bodies sold, and trucks be dismantled and scrapped.
