Steam & Excursion > Seeking photos of Deep Creek RR freight cars

Okay, here's a possibly impossible task.

In 14+ years of research of the Deep Creek Railroad that ran from Wendover to Gold Hill, Utah from 1916 to 1939, I have never seen a photo of any of the 2 (possibly 3) freight cars.

Reportedly they had an ex-WP boxcar numbered Deep Creek 100 and an ex-WP water tank car numbered Deep Creek 501.

Some accounts also list a company service / MW car, possible a flat car. Number unknown.

Anyone out there might have photos of these elusive beasts? The boxcar was in use nearly the whole history of the railroad, so there must be a photo somewhere.

Thanks in advance!

If I recall correctly the Deep Creek Railroad was featured many years ago in an edition of The Western Railroader. Unfortunately I do not have a copy. You might try the California State Railroad Museum, Sacramento.

Thanks.

I have a copy of that Western Railroader. No freight car photos.

I checked CSRM a while ago, but thanks for the reminder. Something new may have turned up.
