The other former 16 section sleeper at GCR is now numbered 2098 and called 
"Colorado 
River".  It was originally D&RGW 1120 Silver Aspen.

According to the GCR website (http://www.thetrain.com), it was acquired by CNW 
post-
D&RGW, renumbered 422 and named "Iowa River".  From there it went to 
Railroading Heritage 
of Midwest America before being acquired by GCR.

BTW, GCR also now has Silver Colt, Silver Stirrup and Silver Pony (whose fate 
is uncertain).
