Hi, John. As Rick has discussed previously, in the fashion of all Class 1 railroads, all trains not scheduled, which on the C&Sng was everything except Passenger trains were run as "Extra". There were scheduled freight runs on the Standard gauge but they were all through freights and did no switching. All local freights were run as Extra.

In later days, #70 was run extra as needed to Waterton, and possibly further, as long as it had enough oil to return. Perry and Kindig and others caught what they could of those extras and there are quite a few pictures. Even trains running West of Golden were run as extra.
