Re: Movie activity on D&RGW n.g. in October '68

Later D&RGW #483, now wearing the infamous 'Scarlot Harlot' movie make-up for her role as passenger locomotive #577 of the 'Grand Mountain RR Line' returned to town at the end of the day's filming, and posed face-to-face with "U.P. #478":

Note the rectangle of dark olive green on the tender of "#478", most likely some gen-u-ine D&RGW "Moffat Green" boiler jacket enamel left over from the 1930's that was found in the paint shed in Durango a few weeks earlier when her Hollyweird make-up was being applied . . .

p.s.  For a really good book about the movies filmed on the D&RGW and the C&TS, I highly recommend purchasing a copy of Larry Jensen's "HOLLYWOOD'S RAILROADS, Volume Three - Narrow Gauge Country."   (See [ngdiscussion.net] for further information.)
