I too found this a great refresher, and came to the realisation that those early CC RR flatcar conversions aren't listed previously in any of the books. I guess I'd never really given it much thought other than calling out the car at Beaver Brook. The earliest date I can put on one use of these is the 1878 completion into Central; were they around before then?
EDIT: One picture of the early CC RR excursion flatcar conversions in Colorado Central Rail Road (pg103) shows a double digit number.
Note these were still in use at this time.
