[CBQ] C&S 620 Cab at Hill City, SD

["Jeffrey" <jterry618@hotmail.com>]

Thanks for the info, Ken.  I have a slide dated June 15, 1961 of the C&S 620 
cab at Hill City with glass intact and the awning still on it; my info says the 
engine was scrapped in April 1961 (I don't know where). Black Hills Central 
owner Bill Heckman had big plans to establish a railroad museum at Oblivion, 
the half-way point of the tourist train, and I've always wondered why the CB&Q 
didn't donate the entire locomotive instead of just the cab.  C&NW gave them 
4-6-0 444 in 1957.
