Smart people:

Do the C&S RPOs have two air hoses on them like their D&RGW brethern?

I get that locos had two air lines on tenders in order to operate flanger 015 (and 013).

But my Spidey sense tells me there was not a signal line on the passenger cars, so I only need to provide the single brake line with air hoses on the RPO. By contrast, when the D&RGW modified the narrow gauge passenger fleet for Shavano/ San Juan service, the designated equipment received a second air line for signals. Cars designated for Chili Line service were also so modified as these cars were run as a single movement with the San Juan from Alamosa to Antonito (Hence for that segment you would see an express car, a long RPO, a short RPO, an open platform coach, two enclosed platform coaches and a parlour car doubled-headed with twin K-28s!).

Thanks in advance for your postulating.
