The history Blackstone Models put out on the 345 lists it as the Durango switcher from Nov. 12, 1949 until the spring of 1951. The 345 ended its service with the its head on crash with 319 for the movie 'Denver & Rio Grande Western' on July 17th, 1951.
I have down that 452 was scrapped on July 30th, 1954. I am not sure about when she was used on the RGS or when we was officially retired.
