So we know for sure that there was C&N-W equipment running on the C&S.

I've known that this C&N equipment ran on the C&S, but it does't show up much in photos. From some C&S correspondence at the Colorado RR Museum, I noted that the C&S leased boxcars 1003, 1005, 1006, 1007, 1008, 1013, 1014, 1017, 1018 and 1025, and gondolas 200, 203, 204, 209, 210, 212, 213, 214 and 217 (and possibly other cars - the records come from multiple correspondences) from November 1900 to  March 1901.  C&S used the cars on the Clear Creek line, and there are written internal correspondences that instructed their operators to "get all the miles out of them you possibly can."
