According to The Colorado Road, there was a FW&D caboose numbered 101, built by 
Pullman in 1888 and converted from 
baggage-mail-coach #26 in December 1951.  It was retired in March 1970.

Passenger car #101 was a 70' 8" baggage car built in 1922, rebuilt in 1929, and 
converted to a tool car in 1968.
