From what I was told when I was up there last May, the 486 was already nearing her limit on days then so was basically a back up engine all summer with the 480, 481, and 482 (and 473 somewhat) handling the usual trains and the 486 just running when needed. I know they are going to try to finish her over the winter but as always, who knows with projects like this.
