Here was my attempt to take the same photo of the historical one. This is back in 2003, and my wife (who is standing where one of the trainmen did) and I were B&W photo fans.

Tank car coming to Como today!
Another type of rail car is coming to Como: a former White Pass & Yukon tank car. While it never ran on the C&S, it is very similar to the Conoco cars that did. The car was owned by Lindsey and Rosa Ashby. They recently donated it to the Como project. It was at the Colorado Railroad Museum in Golden, but, as you can see in the photo below, had been pulled out earlier this week and readied for pickup. Plans include repainting in Conoco lettering.
The photo below is from Jeff Taylor and posted on the Denver South Park and Pacific Historical Society Facebook page. The plan is for it to move today, October 24, 2026.
On the Narrow Gauge Discussion Forum, someone took a photo of the tank car being pulled by a truck, so the move did indeed occur!
