When the Colorado & Southern succeeded the Denver, Leadville
&
Gunnison and the Union Pacific, Denver & Gulf in 1899, UPD&G Business Car #1
entered the C&S roster as “Official” car #010, but it was shortly assigned the
designation B-1, and was so lettered 12 August 1899. In 1906 (or 1911) it was
renumbered #910, and served faithfully until dismantled 10 March 1929.
