Most engines were acquired secondhand from other railroads, but Nos. 2 through 5 were purchased new from Pittsburgh Locomotive Works.<\/span><\/p>\n Many new passenger and baggage cars were ordered from the St. Charles Car Company of Missouri in 1898. The cars were of wooden construction with toilets, baggage racks, kerosene lighting and steam heat. The outsides were painted Tuscany red with black trim and the name \u201cChesapeake Beach\u201d was in gold-leaf lettering. The coaches contained 40 swing-over rattan seats. Four were chair cars that were named <\/span>Durango<\/span><\/i>, <\/span>Del Norte<\/span><\/i>, <\/span>Saguache<\/span><\/i>, and <\/span>Alamosa<\/span><\/i>, with 72 wicker seats each. Another four were parlor cars named <\/span>Rico<\/span><\/i>, <\/span>Dolores, <\/em>Silverton<\/span><\/i>, and <\/span>Ouray,<\/span><\/i> with 36 wicker and 36 plush seats each.
