481 was cleaned up and moved out for display to commemorate the 40th anniversary, next month, of it's return to service on the D&S. It has nothing to do with a conversion to oil fuel.

482 is in the process of being converted to burn oil along with overhaul of the lead and trailing trucks, rod bushing work, and replacement of about 93 tubes in the lower tube bundle. The goal is to have out in service sometime in October.
