Another look at 478 painted as 472 for Railfest 2005

478 became a "fake" 472 for Railfest 2005, complete with green boiler jacket. The real 472, of course, was sent to the WP&YR and scrapped after WWII. Here it is on 26-Aug-2005 at the Shalona Lake crossing.

D&S 478 was painted up as D&RGW 478 again for a private photo charter on 10-Feb-2007. It remained in this paint afterwards, and is seen pulling the regular train on Saturday, 17-Feb-2007
