Hi, Steven -

IIRC, #484 pulled the first C&TS trains in 1971, while #483 was in the shop for routine maintenance. More important, #483 also got her multi-color Hollyweird makeup removed - or at least covered with a fresh coat of paint as shown in your dad's(?) photos - which I believe actually show #483's first run in 1971, sometime in mid- to late August, rather than C&TS first train of 1971.

p.s. Dang, Greg - you posted 30 seconds after I started to respond - but at least ~~great~~ Curmudgeonly minds think alike!
