The 489 at Sargents, Colorado, 5/55, not long before being shipped to Alamosa via flatcar, as the Valley Line had already been taken up, severing the connection between Salida and Alamosa:

Happily all are still with us and all but the 268 have operated in recent years. The 268 is nicely painted in the Bumblebee scheme and under cover at Gunnison.
