Re: D&RGW cars in Oklahoma on the move?

No, #4 was owned by a church camp, these cars were owned by a private collector who bought them from the scrapper in Alamosa and Chama in the early 1970's. He dealt in helicopters and parts and had a truck that he used to haul wrecked helicopters back to Oklahoma, was passing through Alamosa once and saw the scrapper burning cars. That caught his attention so he stopped and worked out a deal to buy intact cars. Over the next few years he bought several gondolas, idler flats, boxcars and stockcars out of Alamosa and Chama and hauled them back to his property north of Alva, Oklahoma.
