487 lost its plow in the spring of 1981. The reason being it was under flue extension and the smokebox had to be opened up every winter to pull the two bottom flues out of the boiler. 487's plow went on 488 for one season, then it sat in the weeds until it went back on 487 around 1990. Coker was painting tri-colored heralds on the engines back in the late 1970's, I put them the engines I painted in the 1980's. In JBWX's, pic Jim Shawcroft is running I'm guessing mid-1980's. Consist is a typical mid-80's 12 car train.
