My pictures of the 493, including present not so good condition in Silverton:

It is really sad to see it now, there's still coal in the tender, the doors are falling apart, the dog house is missing its door, missing valve gear links, bits and pieces scavanged. A couple of parts like the front number plate are on display inside the Silverton depot and aside from a good paint job the crew in Durango did, there has been no care taken with this engine. So much for historic preservation.
