This 30’ box
car with single door is painted box car red with red, white and blue logo and
white lettering. It was built by Barney & Smith Car Company and ran during
the early 1900s, although the built date is unknown. It runs on brown Barber
Coleman Archbar trucks. The monetary panic of 1893 and a devastating flood in
1894 caused the Union Pacific to decide not to rebuild its Greeley, Salt Lake
& Pacific Railroad (GSL&P), which connected Boulder with the precious
metal mines in the mountains west of the city. Eastern capitalists formed a new
company, the Colorado & Northwestern Railway, which would replace the
GSL&P, and then extend the tracks to Ward and Endora.
