Michael,

That was the first time the C&TS had 5 loco's under steam at one time--I have a video of that it's awesome. I think that was taken during John Crafts ultimate ng charter. They ran some authentic trains with rear and mid train helpers. The 497 was one of main characters as she headed the last train of the 1992 season with 34 cars down the 4% into Chama--I think Earl Knoob was at the throttle that day.
