Re: Baggage car 163 on the move video

Just posted is a video of D&RGW baggage car 163 being moved from its resting place in the CSF in Antonito to Colorado Springs where it will be restored:

Running time 17 minutes

This was a very delicate operation due to the fragile nature of the car and the fact that it was only resting on its trucks due to the lack of bolsters. The CSF had to be cleared and two forklifts were used to gently move the car out into the daylight where a crane could lift it onto a flatbed truck for the journey to COS.
