I don't think that any narrow gauge cars were moved on the line from Alamosa to Antonito after the last narrow gauge trains in 1968, except for the deliveries to the C&TS. And there were certainly none after that. As Jerry said there may have been some limited shuffling around the Alamosa yards, but I think it was only done to move them to a spot where it was more convenient to scrap them or load them on trucks. The cars being burned at Estrella were trucked out there as I recall.
