Locomotive 473 on the Durango and Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad is in its "Bumblebee" livery and diamond smokestack, at the Durango, Colorado depot, for operation in the D&S "Railfest" celebration in August, 2003. This appearance (but not the same locomotive) was used in the filming of the 1951 movie, "Denver & Rio Grande."
