Tom, The shot in the video preview of 497 is on the first run after rebuild, on July 10, 1967. The shot taking water is 497 at La Jara, yes with fresh paint. Olaf's photo was supposedly taken the next day. I see what you mean about the tender on his shot. Its noticeable on 493 but not so much on 497, yet I bet it is there!!
