Car 248 was originally 3244. It survives as a restroom car used on freight charters, again numbered 3244..

The boiler was for Kahului RR #12, a 2-6-2. It arrived in Chama in a dismantled state, and left the same way in the mid-1980's. It was restored to operation by an outfit in Idaho. It is now at the Georgetown Loop in an inoperable condition.

489 never got any paint applied to her until she was returned to service in 1981.
