OK, I must qualify my last post in that this list only covers the 480's and 490's. I have no records on smaller power.

480 5/31/65
481 3/28/61
482 4/20/59
483 12/6/68*
484 8/27/68
485 1954 - when it fell into the Salida turntable pit
486 11/4/61
487 10/22/67
488 12/--/66
489 5/13/61

490 out of service pre-1961
491 4/19/63
492 11/--/66
493 7/24/68
494 8/3/62
495 1/28/61
496 1954
497 12/26/67
498 8/28/68
499 12/4/63

*I heard a story that 483 was fired up in May of 1969 for a proposed run to Chama with the winter's accumulation of freight, but Denver nixed the idea and sent the freight by truck.
