According to this post from the Railway Preservation News site, former D&SL caboose 10061 was converted to weed sprayer car Nalco 105/D&RGW X301 in 1951:

So it is a former D&SL car, albeit not an identical twin sister to D&SL 10060 at the CRM.

Michael,

While the construction is somewhat similar, I don't thinks the NALCO caboose is from the D&SL caboose.  The NALCO caboose has a much shorter wheelbase.  Nice Pic of the D&SL caboose at the Colorado RR Museum where I am a volunteer.
