I read somewhere that they actually tried to give the #472 back to the D&RGW. The Grande refused it, and the boiler was sold off and the frame & running gear were scrapped in Ogden UT.
Interestingly, I've heard 2 rumors about the K-28s:
1. One of them fell through the dock at Seattle, the dock was repaired, and the loco is still down there.
2. The remains of #472 is still sitting in a scrap yard in Ogden UT.
I kid you not!!!

P.S. Before you all blast me with a ton of responses, I don't believe either one!
