Re: #483 & #489 cab roof vent covers similar ...

Hi Matt et al -

The cab vents and the handrails to the headlight brackets on both #489 and #483 appear
to be nearly identical. There may be some minor differences, but #489 is probably the best
candidate to stand in for #483 in the re-enactment of the first train into Chama during the
40th Anniversary Celebration next year.

Hopefully, some cheap latex paint can be used for the ugly Tuscan Red that was still on #483 on 09/06/70, and it (along with some latex black on the boiler jacket) can be washed off by 09/09/2010 so #489 can return to her pristine Green-Jacketed splendor for the remainder of the season!
