John and all, I got my wires crossed on that one. 490 was out of service in 1962 and dismantled in 63-64. I was thinking of the 492 which hit the big rock and broke up her smokebox and front door. The 490's box and door were parted out to repair the 492. I had the 492's wreck and the 490's scrapping scrambled in my lil head.
