In addition to the above, the company now owns 50 freight cars, which it has since purchased, and it also has a floating debt of $32,502.76.

As has already been noted Engine 100 was purchased and put into service as soon as the railroad started operating.
The Rio Grande Southern Railroad bought a number of engines in both 1890 and ’91 and, as it was not yet in operation and did not need so many, it kept its sister railroad in supply. A record of those it loaned to the S. R. in 1892 is as follows:
No. 8—January 1 to April 12
No. 5—July 7 to November 19
No. 7—August 14 to September 2
No. 6—September 2 to October 10
No. 34—November 27 to December 31
