Hi, Roger -
It was #483 whichpulled pushed the first train into Chama on 9/6/1970:
At Cumbres, preparing #483 for her big day:
Engine #483 pushing the work train through The Narrows:
Engine #483 on the following morning, 09/07/1970:
Hopefully, one of the other engines can be painted VERY Temporarily (for obvious reasons) to stand in for #483 on 9/6/2010.
======
* Some of us are also hoping to have #489 painted with an authentic DARK Olive Green jacket for the entire season - Memorial Day through late October, 2010 - to commemorate the 60th anniversary of her 'Season in Green' on the D&RGW in 1950.
