W-488 was also a narrow gauge dual gauge coupler car. It was at one time the tender with #273. Also there was a high side gon dual gauge coupler car used at Santa Fe, N.M., that shows up in Bob Richardson's CHASING TRAINS, and in Dorman's CHILLI TRAIN book. The number of the car cannot be made out in the pictures.
