Pristine narrow gauge engines - 480 and 488
| August 11, 2022 07:11PM |
The photos currently posted show 488 in pristine condition after her recently completed rebuild. 488 does have a sister engine that is also operating in a nearly pristine look - 480. Seen in Silverton this afternoon, 480 looks really beautiful. It is great to see these engines so well maintained and cared for
With 110 miles of track missing, it is unlikely we will see 480 and 488 double heading again, as seen here in this photo taken by Tom Koglin on January 30, 1964 at Gato.
