Hi, Greg -

#476 was apparently en route to Alamosa for some pre-season shopping on Memorial Day - May 30,1960 - as she was our engine westbound from Alamosa to Durango for my first-ever fantrip the following Friday - June 3, 1960 - and from Durango to Silverton & return on June 4.  #483 was our road engine eastbound from Durango to Alamosa on June 5, with a K-37 helper from Chama to Cumbres.   (See [ngdiscussion.net] and [ngdiscussion.net] for pics.)
