The #223 spent it's entire career on the Grande, lastly working out of Gunnison on the Baldwin branch. It was retired and donated sometime in the '40s. Montezuma Lumber used a number of ex-Grande C-16s, including Grant #227, & Baldwin #285. The last & most famous was the #271 which previously was the Durango swithcher. They burned the crown sheet sometime in the '40s ruining the loco. They then aquired C-19 #346, and the rest is history.....
