I high-graded this pic from Trainorders of Durango in 1971. 478 and what appears to be 473 on the ready track. In the background is 497 and 481. 481 still has her fairly new paint from her last shopping in Alamosa. Note she has a "lefty" Rio Grande on her right side. So, even though she was never put in service, 481 get's to join the "Lefty Grande" club with 497 and 487.
