The pictures of the pre-wreck #455 cab are not of the original cab. The original cab was burned in the Gunnison roundhouse during the winter of 1915. In his book,"Rio Grande Glory Days", Gil Lathrop relates an amusing tale of how he and a hostler managed to accomplish this deed. As far as the #460, I know nothing about it, though I assume it picked up another cab sometime during its lifetime.
