Hopefull they didn't trick you and inside one of those things is an infernal combustion gizmo! You guys would have to charge double then!

Seriously I remember seeing this engine my first time to Alamosa when Richardson had it at the Motel in 1956. Gads that was 50 years ago!! I was 5 then! I probably climbed all over it. The neat thing was the next day we rode the train from Alamosa to Durango, and there is a shot in my dads film of me climbing into the cab of 490 which was our engine for the day.
Anyone know when 490 went out of service...Just curious since I brought it up!
