The 36" gauge Pacific Coast Railway operated out of San Luis Obispo, on California's central coast, south to Los Olivos. In 1928, the railroad acquired ten box cars from the Nevada-California-Oregon Railroad, and numbered them 1500-1518 (even numbers only). These cars were built in 1900 by American Car & Foundry for Colorado's Florence & Cripple Creek. While only in service on the F&CC for fifteen years, the dominant markings on this car, found in Los Alamos, California (being used as a storage shed behind a restaurant), in 1985, are still the F&CC's "Gold Belt Line" markings! (And, much to my surprise, it appears that the F&CC logo included shadowing - pretty fancy for a narrow gauge line, but back then there was a lot of pride in doing things correctly, rather than cheaply.)
