The Alamosa is on the D&S in Durango. It was converted to a coach by the D&RGW in 1957. The D&S returned it to a parlor car in 1982, although the new interior does not in any way replicate the original.
The Chama is at Knotts Berry Farm. Converted to a combine with coach seating.
The Durango is also at Knotts restored to its "as run on the San Juan" appearance.
The Salida and Gunnison were sold the National Railways of Mexico in 1942, have never been seen again.
