John:
One of the unpublished photos I have from Tom shows 480 with the spreader, flanger, and two cabooses in front of the Chama depot waiting to couple up to something. Will have to ask Tom; probably will not get an answer until after Christmas. I know he was in the area in 64 also as they photographed D&RGW Russell Snow Plow X67 on the Provo Canyon branch to Heber, Utah.
