Re: Florence & Cripple creek 20

According to the Colorado Rail Annual #13 Forence & Cripple Creek (IMHO a darn good book) the passenger fleet on the F&CC was numbered from 50 - 72. coaches #52, #55 and #56 and baggage-mail cars #71, and 72 were sold to the Nevada-California-Oregon Ry in 1915.

Coaches 51, 62, 63, 65, and 66 and baggage-passenger cars 50, 60 and 64 were mounted on standard gauge truks at various times between 1911 and 1915 and used on the Midland Terminal. In 1915 they were turned over to the Cripple Creek and Colorado Springs RR. and renumbered. By 1918 F&CC #50 and 51 were transferred to the Montana Southern RY. Of the cars that remaind on the CC&CS Ry (later the MT), all were retired after 1929 and a few of the bodies were used by the Midland Terminal for storage and employee living quarters.

But, as previously noted, there is no record of any ending upon the SP.
