HISTORY (Continued)

C&S coach #149 would not remain a coach long. In 1902, as traffic dwindled, the C&S needed more all-purpose cars, and coach #149 was rebuilt to a combination coach-baggage car and assigned #130 in sequence with other combination cars. In the 1906 renumbering it became #30.

It appears that after passenger service was discontinued in 1937, coach-baggage #30 was used as a tool car. Poole has a photos of it in Leadville dated 1939, and Osterwald {10} says its body, minus trucks and couplers, was to be seen in Leadville as late as 1959. (The Maxwell Collection has a photo of it as a shed in 1956.)
