#5 did get fired up and once in Chama. It had serious valve gear issues and ran very poorly. Also the air pump was bad order so the test run was done sans air brakes. They took 0503 up to the Narrows, decided that was far enough an and drifted back on 0503's hand brake. #5 did make a brief appearance in a movie filmed on the C&TS, but it was pushed by something else.
