There was a picture of the 476 and 484 switching at La Jara that ran with the story of 476 returning to service. The engines were coupled. The train, with engineer Louis J Oberrich on the 476 and Ben Hindelang on the 484, ran doubleheaded to Antonito. ( Jimmy Blouch provided the enginners' names). The 476 then was put in the middle of the train. ( Jimmy Blouch provided the engineers' names.)
