I did find a bit of info on what happened to the little bobber after the standard gauging of the Leadville to Climax line. Here is what someone working on the caboose said on Railway Preservation News:
"We are starting to restore long lost C&S caboose 1008. She was scrapped in the 1940's in Leadville, CO and all metal parts were removed and the wooden body used as a shed."
How it then got all the way to California and in a field I have yet to hear. I love railroad mysteries!
Anybody have any info?
