Hello my friends,

The D&RGW 470s (K-28s) are my favorite steam locomotives. I am trying to understand the changes that were made to them over the years, both collectively and to individual locomotives.

Here is what my untrained eye has uncovered so far:

(like 474)

like 470

footboard pilot in 1956

What haven’t I discovered yet?

EDIT: I’m more interested in 1920s to 1950s general service stuff, not necessarily movie or tourist or Alaska info.
