In Bob Richardson's Narrow Gauge News for December 1953, he reported the accident and that the loco was going to be scrapped in the same article. I doubt that the concept of "cosmetic restoration" existed in 1953. Since the railroad received permission from the ICC to abandon the Marshall Pass line December 1953, the only line in operation out of Salida was the Monarch Branch and there were 6 other K-36's at Salida to handle the traffic. Also 485 represented a good source of spare parts.
