Todd, whats with the standard gauge C&S double sheathed boxcar body (lettered C&S 13121) to the east of the roundhouse lead? Between the depot and the two old narrow gauge outfit car bodies.

It wasn't there the last time I visited Como.

@comodepot:

That is really exciting news! Steam will once again be live in Como. We are planning to spend the week before the convention exploring the DSP&P/C&S remains. My wife and I are really excited to return out there.

Jason Midyette brought that up last week and placed it where a narrow gauge body had been to use as a tool shed. It was previously in Boulder.

Todd,  
What I'd like to know just what is the reasoning behind this move?

[Robert McFarland]

Mention was made previously that the car represented a failed experiment to mount NG trucks on similar SG boxcars that ended up in a wreck that put 2 of them in the Platte River.Pictures of the wreck can be found in the Pictorial Suppliment chapter on Wrecks.Recently  B&L had an article on  a SG MOW car that was brought to Como in the later times for use as a shed

They need storage and had the box car that needed a home. This is a South Park Rail thing.
