CURECANTI NATIONAL RECREATION AREA IN CIMARRON, CO
The cars are restored to the 1940?s look. #278 was retired in 1952 and given to Montrose. In 1974 moved and loaded directly onto the trestle from earth fill at the trestle?s west end. The coal tender was shortened and replaced the original around 1935. Boxcar built in 1903 (rebuilt in 1923) carried 25 tons. Caboose built in 1880 and was used on this run of the D&RG Narrow Gauge Railroad. [NPS leaflet ?Cimarron Canyon Rail Exhibit]
