It appears that Holly's engine, the 482 was leading the train. Normally the road crew staffs the second engine while the helper crew operates the lead engine.
However there was probably a reason for this. It appears that the dispatcher planned to run the train as a doubleheader all the way to Alamosa. Perhaps the 482 had a pilot plow and the 473 didn't. Both engines were equipped to handle steam heat.
