An eastbound Union Pacific coal train travels by the east end of Eisele (formerly Clay) siding, Colorado, passing a partially hidden relic from the past. Former D&RGW tank car No. X2906, a former water car, is buried in a low earthen berm here. Many years ago, a small community called Fireclay was located here, with this tank car most likely used as water storage for the town. Now the 8123 gallon capacity car rests among the rocks, dirt, grass and shrubs, providing a curiosity to another era.
