Found two more Otto Perry photos of C-19s on the C&S:

The only photo I've found to date with one of the C19s on a train.  Westbound at Sheridan Jct, September 23, 1936; per Otto's caption: "Freight, westbound, on the Colorado & Southern; 14 cars 15 MPH; Colorado & Southern 5 and Denver Rio Grande Western 343 in rear pushing."

This photo is dated April 1, 1937, less than a week prior to the last stock train cited above. Both 343 and 345 at the Denver Roundhouse have their Ridgeway spark arrestors removed.  Perhaps they were removed in the winter, or they have been removed prior to their planned return to the D&RGW in a couple of weeks.

Will keep looking.
