Nope. D&RG(W) coach 307 (nee D&RG 83) was changed to 0307 (work service) in 1924 as a "bunk car." In 1964 trucks were used for one of the new coaches built for the Silverton that year with the body winding up at CRRM.
Car at Vance Jct (depot/waiting room) was RGS #254 (ex D&RG 263 nee 39.) Wrecked in 1895, retired, body placed at Vance. Trucks went under new RGS coach #260.
