    Como is in Park County, Colorado. The railroad was the narrow gauge Colorado & Southern, and before that the Denver, South Park and Pacific. The last train ran through there in about 1938.

    I believe that UP is occasionally using some of their inherited fallen flag logos on working cars in order to keep their claim to ownership. I don't remember the legalese, but I am pretty sure of the reasoning. Dave Schaaf

    These cars are brand new build, made at Colorado Railcar in Ft. Lupton, Colorado. This company has and is making a lot of these two-deck sightseer jobs for the Alaska trains. Many of them are actually owned by and lettered for the cruise ship lines. Dave Schaaf, Denver
