I went looking for it this summer and couldn't find it. Searching Google Maps today I found what looks like the rock, but it has been moved from the ROW into the creek:

492 Rock?

I think this was the rock that the 492 hit in 1963 resulting in having part of its smokebox fixed by using part of the 490's smokebox. When the road was widened and paved they must have moved the rock...
