Any idea as to why 488 has been inside the house for so long?

Maybe it is transforming itself into another engine ???

ooh, spooky thought.

Like, maybe, the long lost 485?

Actually Roger is correct, it will come out subbing for the inoperative 483 this weekend on the Trains' charters celebrating the 50th anniversary of the last freight over the line under D&RGW which was pulled by 483 and 484.

"Faux Eighty Three"


-Trademark pending...

The 2nd time around. We did a faux '83 in 2010 using 487 (painted up like a Hollywood scarlet)

Yup... it was an odd combination of fun... and horror.

Thanks, that was a fun time.

Yes it was. And, let's not forget the highlight of the weekend:





It just don't get any better than that, folks. That there is some true quality entertainment.

I understand that the 4 'vandals' who committed the atrocious act were eventually captured and sentenced to 10 years in El Paso TX

El Paso? Not the pokey in Pagosa?

Could have been worse, Rock Springs Wyo.

488 as 483 performed very well on both days of the Trains charter - thanks to everyone who made it all work
