I'm assuming you mean the Marshall Pass line filing.

At Time of Filing (Aug 25, 1952):

c-16: 268, 278
k-36: 480-483, 485-487, 489

486 & 487 were sent to Alamosa in late November of '52.
278 was given to Montrose in early November '52 (put on display in March of '53).
485 went into the Salida pit December of '53.

so at the actual date of abandonment (january 15, '54) it was
268, 480-483 & 489.
