Back in September of 2023 my family had the chance to visit the Colorado Railroad Museum. Since I hadn't been to the museum since my teens (in the 1990s), this was my first visit with the only known C&S narrow gauge refrigerator car in existence (It was acquired by CRRM in 2002). One side and end is painted for the C&S where the car began its life while the other side and end is painted for the Rio Grande Southern where it spent the second part of its revenue life.
The video I made below tells the main pieces of the car's history.
To read more about C&S 1113's journey from the C&S to the RGS and the Sundown and Southern and finally CRRM, check out
this blog post and the links there.
Enjoy!
