That's not "recently" -
Earl took those pics in
1981, more than a quarter century ago, and - as he has pointed out above and reminded us below - #488 did have that plow for a while. SFAIK once #487 got 'her' plow back it hasn't strayed since, and it's the other plow that has been swapped around between #484, #488 and #489 for the past two dozen years or so.

p.s. #487 was a-wearin' that there plow when Festus J. ('Jim') Shaughnessy captured her runnin' at high speed on the three-rail 'raceway' back in the 1950s. She was a-movin' so fast that the letters on her tender got blowed backwards - see [
