Ha. Jim.
In Buckwalter: Scenes of a Pioneer Photojournalist, Pruett Pub which I got way back in 1990. That photo was consigned to memory, like a lot of others, when this thread started, the gears began to grind and it was only today that the cogs meshed on my mental rolodex.
Rick Steele did expose the Colo. & So. in his Lettering The Colorado Lines, part 2 NG&SL Gazette Mar/Apr 1984 Rick did mention that it was applied to SG cars in haste.
If you look closely at the shadow of old lettering O. R.R. appears above on the newish patched 052. That to me fits with the Denver and New Orleans Railroad, a predecessor road of the UP,D&G SG lines.
The cars are on a temporary spur laid parallel to the Golden line at Arvada during a conflict with the abuilding Denver & North-Western.
Just what gauge they laid that spur to, I can't answer.
