Russ489 posted about this very subject awhile back. Since 481 was shopped in Alamosa and towed dead to Durango before the tracks were pulled up, she really only needed an inspection, missing parts replaced and a paint job. Search his threads and you’ll find more details (included pics of the transfer move).
