491 got buried at Long Creek, MP 320, one mile west of Cascade Creek.
In a past issue of the FOCTS Dispatch I did and article on the storm of '52. It was essentially a distillation of Norwoods and Richardson's accounts with a couple of added tidbits I had found. Nearly very locomotive the DRGW had out of Alamosa and Durango was out there except on K37 in Alamosa and I think it was 488 that was kept in Durango. They were kept out just in case something else needed rescuing.
