Eugene et al -

IIRC, "Butch & Sundance" filming was based in Durango during mid-September, and #483 pulled a few cars to Chama for the filming of "Good Guys and Bad Guys" also in mid-September - for which #483 received the infamous red-&-gold Hollyweird make-up she was still wearing when turned over to the C&TS nearly two years later.

For pics, see [ngdiscussion.net] and [ngdiscussion.net].  For further details, I strongly recommend you get a copy of Larry Jensen's book "Hollywood's Railroads, Volume Three:  Narrow Gauge Country" (see [ngdiscussion.net] et seq).
