The Rio Grande used a number of boxcars as non-revenue work cars. These boxcars were early models, usually dating back from the nineteen century and converted to outfit cars to serve different purposes (living quarters, transport of equipment and tools) by altering their interiors and bodies (new doors and windows). These outfit cars remained in use in company service much longer than their contemporary counter parts which stayed in revenue service, so those which survived today are the oldest preserved Denver & Rio Grande boxcars. Most of these work cars (including numbers 04255, 04258, 04407, 04444, 04426, 04904 and 04982 preserved today) were built in 1895-96 by the Ohio Falls Car Manufacturing Company and were originally 30ft boxcars, each of a capacity of 20 tons.

Four-wheel wooden "bobber" caboose #1009 was originally built in 1882 for the Denver, South Park & Pacific Railroad, which retired it from service in 1942. It was stored in Silver Plume, Colorado, until the Colorado Railroad Museum purchased it in 1961. It has been completed restored as Colorado & Southern #1009.
