Well, the 490 actually from what I heard broke it's axel on the Farmington Branch and it was then set aside. Now, when the 497 and 498 rolled over on Cumbres in the early 60's they were both in pretty bad shape and luckily they were both rebuilt because the Grande thought they could show how expensive it was to maintain the ng and give it an excuse for abandoment. Sad that the K-37's aren't in better shape today-hopefully we can get 3 or 4 of them active in the future.
