On the morning of September 24th, 2020, a C&S boxcar finally came home! She arrived in Como. Here is the writeup written by Jason Midyette:
"Como received a new boxcar this morning.
"Colorado & Southern 8179 was a "Miller Car" that went to the RGS in 1938 and stayed on to the end of operations. The RGS made the car into an outfit car and used it until the end, when it was scrapped. The carbody ended up in Olathe, where it spent nearly 70 years as a shed. The car was acquired by the South Park Rail Society last year. We moved it from Olathe yesterday and unloaded it in Como this morning."
