#496's engineer could be hidden in the shadows -

Maybe #497's throttle is closed – hence almost no exhaust – and a hostler is running #496 as he moves them both around the loop and then to the coaling tower or water tank.  Or #497's engineer may have collapsed on the floor of the cab due to the heavy fumes coming off her freshly painted Moffat Green jacket.    

Only The Shadow knows . . .
