Yes. Earliest picture I recall was taken by the late Robert Morris of 42 at Durango with the Flying Rio Grande lettering in Sept.'49. You don't see alot of 42 because it wasn't used that much. 42 was set aside by 1929 and ONLY revived because the RGS needed six engines to be ready to handle the movements dictated by that fall's stock rush. Why it was painted out by the scrapper I don't know - perhaps because it had already been sold.
