Guy et al -
The story I vaguely remember reading somewhere is that the right-side stencil got lost
or damaged, so the paint shop used the left-side stencil on both the fireman's and the
engineer's side of the locos. I had seen photos of both #487 and #497 flying backwards
but was unaware 'til now that #481 and #492 were also lettered this way.
