The car body for short refrigerator car 54 is sitting is Silverton. The car body is sitting on raised blocks to protect the sills from damage. Most of the other 30 foot refrigerator car bodies in the San Luis valley were dropped directly on the ground when the cars were sold by the D&RGW.. When DRHS investigated many of these cars the sills were badly damaged. DRHS moved the body of 54 along with car 39 to Silverton several years ago. Car 39 has been restored. The internal ice bunkers were replaced in car 39 during the restoration.
