I'm with William on this one. I see both pionts and understand both. New history is made everyday but the fact is that the D&S advertises itself as a rolling museum, "Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad & MUSEUM". If they want to paint 480 in the "bee" colors fine, nothing we can do about it and who knows, it might not look half bad but I still believe that the D&S should stick to history the best it can. Most people want to see what that area looked like 50 or 100 years ago, not what it looked like yesterday.
