I dug through the RGS dispatchers train sheets a few years ago. The first trip of 455 after her rebuild in late 1940 early 41 was on March 29, 1941. She did a break in run Ridgway to Dallas and back. A few days later she started showing up in regular service. From photos taken in the 1940 1941 time period, the March 29 trip was probably the first trip with the sunrise herald.
