Re: The mad dash ... and fake stacks

#483 "borrowed" one of the fake stacks in September, 1968, when she was disguised
as #577 of the 'Grand Mountain Railroad Line' for the movie "The Good Guys and the
Bad Guys".   The stack and a fake long, pointed pilot were removed prior to her being
turned over to the C&TS in 1970 - but she was still dolled up with Tuscan trim on cab,
domes & tender and "brass" (gold painted) handrails & cylinders.

... and (how could I almost forget?) bright red counterweights!

There's a photo on page 64 of Ernie's book, 'RGNG-TFY,AtC'.*
