"Gramps" was a local oil producer (Company) in the San Juan basin area around Farmington, as stated by Gary.

Randy, the GRAMPS cars were narrow gauge. They would have been pulled by Ks, most likely 36s and 37s. The pipe gons were for taking drill stems and casings out to the oil fields around Farmington. There was dual gauge track between Antonito and Alamosa. They used idler cars there and had mixed gauge freights on that section of track. So it is possible a diesel might have pulled a GRAMPS car there. The narrow gauge cars were much smaller than the SG cars. Chuck

Thanks JJ, Jim, and Rich. I certainly learned a lot, some of which I should have known, but didn't. Chuck
