It would be a cool train to photograph if their were no rider boxcars!! Those things make the train look totally different, and plus it wouldn't look anywhere near historic with people in it! Also, 484 has patches, 483 did not! Hence why 489 would have been good.

On the other hand, if I had the money I'd ride the train!!! It's a historic event, and looks like fun! But for the 50th I'll have won the lottery, and pay for the real 483 to be chugging up the mountain!

Hope this train goes well!
