interesting that per the D&RGW records cited in Victor Stone's "taking Stock" book 5522 and 5672 were "Dismantled at Alamosa" in 1967.

Clearly the cars were sold to a Hollywood studio in 1964. Did it take the D&RGW 3 years to figure out the cars were gone and account for them (not implausible) or is the book in error? My money is on the Rio Grande headquarters taking that long to account for the fact that the cars were sold.
