More NG images presumably Gunnison

(1)backing to water tank...engine 496, fireman or hostler has hand on the rope about to bring down the spout. Question when was 496 taken out of service?
(2) Brakeman has just thrown the switch and rides the pilot of 495 as
they back up.
I am assuming these are the two engines on the train that left Gunnison
that I posted the other day. 492 was added as rear helper at Sargents apparently.
I used the sharpen tool on Photoshop after making the video grabs. Doesn't look so hot on the 495 shot. Film looks so much better!!!
