Re: NCO Ry acquires and moves another car

Folks,
I was able to borrow a copy of the Florence & Cripple Creek Colorado Rail Annual #13 by Tivis
E. Wilkins.

It has very thorough rosters; showing a number of passenger and freight cars being sold to the N-C-O, as we know. The #518 box car was built by A,C &F's Peninsular Car Works

The NCO/F&CC #72 Mail/Baggage Car which is now indoors at the N-C-O Historical Society was built by St Charles Car in 1897. There is a drawing of it in the book on page 173.

It is pretty amazing that at least four locomotives still exist in Colorado and Nevada:

Elkton now D&RGW #315, Goldfield, now D&RGW #318, Independence, now Uintah #12, Portland, now RGS#20 recently restored.

Ted Miles, retired but still interested.
