I have to agree: great video, Roger... and great job fixing the timing, all you Chama shop guys! Since the first time we ran her in the early '70s, 487 was out of time, and actually sounded (and felt) to me like the fireman-side piston was striking the rear cylinder head on each stroke. Now she sounds terrific! Even the crew in Alamosa hadn't been able to do that.
