Re 480's short stack: It is my understanding that sometime between 1960 and 1962 engine 480's stack was replaced by a shorter stack from a standard gauge engine. Why this was done, I don't know. Maybe Jerry Day will chime in here. When 480 was returned to operation on DSNG, the short stack was replaced by the long stack that the engine has today.
