280

Yes, as I posted above, 280 was coupled into the San Juan, in the consist. As I recall, the date was in either December or January before the train was discontinued. There had to be a steam line to supply heat for the trailing coaches and parlor car, and the gold car in the picture is absolutely, positively, the 280. So there had to be a steam line, and a means of passing electricity as well, although there is no visible conduit, and 280 never was fitted with electric lights or stem heat. 284, 306, and 320 were all fitted with elecric lights, but not steam heat. All three of these coaches kept their two lamps as well. 280 had three lamps, or at least three sets of lamp vents. When the car was delivered to Boulder, the center lamp was missing.
