IIRC, #484 pulled the first few "revenue" trains in 1971, Greg -

. . . while #483 underwent some routine, probably overdue, maintenance. My unofficial foster brothers John (aka Hall #5) and Tom-Ass (aka Hall #7) were along on a comping trip over Labor Day, and we were hanging out in Osier when #483 went through eastbound one day and westbound the next, with freshly painted cab, domes and tender but incognito insofar as any lettering on her tender (behind). See [ngdiscussion.net] for pics.
