All three bodies went to Colorado RR Museum in 1967. Rio Grande kept the trucks to go under new cars.
Subsequently, the 306 and 320 were sold to Huckleberry Railroad where they now operate.
The CRRM website reports the following about 284: "Extensive restoration was done in the 1990s and the car was placed on the Colorado Register for Historic Places. The restoration includes new red plush upholstery and conductor's small bay windows as used on the Chile Line."
