Yeah, The #650 was used in many John Wayne Pictures, including Big Jake, Rio Bravo, the Train Robbers etc. Of course, in the Wayne pictures the loco is all "dolled" up in phony stack, pilot and headlight with gold and red paint abounding. Almost as awful as GW #75 in Breakheart Pass. In Wild Bunch (set in 1913) it's the same engine but with a straight stack, an electrified carbon arc headlight and all black and filthy. Ahh, Hollywood actually did it right once.
#650 has the strange driver spacing of some early Baldwin 2-6-0's with a big gap between 2nd and 3rd. May explain why she looks like a 4-4-0.
