I bought a video I'd heard of called Steam Around The World- The Latin American Archives to see if by chance I would get a glimpse of the former SVRy 2-6-6-2s in action.
I found what may be the only motion picture of #250 since the days of work on the Uintah Railway but sadly, it is 1971 and she sits beside the track awaiting the torch in a 30 second shot at about the 32 minute mark. Joy and great sadness at once. Here is a screenshot off my old laptop.
