Caboose is either the 0505 or 0540. Both were based in Durango. The coach is one of the 330 series cars built in the 1960's. The rear car is the B7, still in its movie paint job from Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.

All of these cars came back to Durango on the last NG train the Grande sent west out of Alamosa a couple of weeks later.
