So what year/s was 50 there? Also when did 473 get its diamond stack?
I know it was last K-28 to have a straight stack. This scene has to be after it

I know it ran to Silverton with 476(as #7) in 1954. None
of that is shown however. Just the one scene with N4700??
What years was that critter used?
