The date that we (DRHS) picked to restore 315 to was Mid Year 1940, Just before the introduction of the "Flying Rio" Logo. At that time 315 did not have any number on the tank back.

Photos from 1947 show a large 315 across the full width of the back of the tank in Durango. There is none that I know of showing a small number.

When she was 425 ( there are no known photos of 425 ) The engine numbers were very large on the side of the tender, and a small D&RG on the cab side.
