When the C&S donated locomotives to towns like Central City and Idaho Springs, they spiffed them up with nice coats of paint, laid nice display track, and gave them friends (i.e. coaches and, in the case of #71, a gondola). What is the story, then, with C&S caboose 1006 in Silver Plume?
When I last saw it, it rested on a nice piece of track, and had a nice paint job, but by the above photo from what I guess to be the 1950s it looks like it was "dumped." No track, just dirt. No nice paint job, just faded sides. I hope to find out the story.
