I'm curious, Chris.  Do you have a date in mind, for when the tram incline at Newhouse/Argo was constructed?  That would give an "earliest" date for when Derrell's photo of 1002 could have been taken.

If number 1002 was an eight-wheel caboose, I'm now beginning to wonder when it actually acquired the 4 wheel under carriage that it obviously had in the 1930s.  Is it possible that the car traveled up and down Clear Creek and across the South Park on eight wheels, well into the 1920s?

Sigh, one more thing that I thought I knew about the C&S, but likely didn't.
