Baggage Car 163?

[Craig Kumler]

Anyone know what the plans are for this car? Will the "Friends" take it on or the RR? Hoping to hear something.

Craig, if I am hearing Don Atkinson correctly the 470 crew is planning to work on the baggage car next. I was hoping they would have taken it back to Colorado Springs while they had the crain and truck there hauling int 470 car to Antonito for final sitting out of the undercarriage. Right now it is all hands on deck finishing all of the 1001 items to make 470 ready to roll behind (I assume), the 168 loco.

John: Thanks for the info! I recently talked to Stathi about 163 and he said it was still in Antonito awaiting movement to CS. He also told me that coach 292's trucks were now there (Antonito) and would soon be placed under the car. HOOORAY!
