During work session C of this year, back in June, the Friends moved baggage car 163 from its long time home at the back of the car storage facility in Antonito to the Colorado Springs site for restoration. Video of the delicate move:

The car has no bolsters so was just resting on its trucks and required two forklifts to gently persuade it to move.
