Here is an oddity that I came across on a family vacation back in 1992. The town is Nederland, Colorado. It has three standard gauge cars. One is a C&S/CB&Q wooden coach and dining car. Next is a C&S caboose, and the other is a mail/circus car.
The cars are still there serving as a coffee shop. Here is the website of Train Cars Coffee and Kava.
An article from the Mountain Ear states that the shop includes "a 1906 Pullman Coach dining car, an 1872 Union Pacific Railroad post office car, and a 1910 caboose, which survived the South Platte Flood of 1965".
I love the classic C&S Columbine herald on the window.
