[CBQ] Help finding the history of FW&D engine 31

[Chris Kay <chris.a.kay@comcast.net>]

> My grandfather, Robert W. Armstrong, was a VP of the FW&D railroad.  One of 
> the souvenirs he collected was the headlamp from engine 31 of the FW&D.  I 
> can't find a picture of this engine nor any history about the engine.  I did 
> find this picture of engine 38.  The link is here:

> http://www.yesteryeardepot.com/FWD38.JPG
> 
> I believe the headlamp on engine 38 looks like the headlamp I have installed 
> in my backyard.  Here's a picture of the headlamp I inherited from my 
> grandfather.  
> 
> 
> 
> I would really like to know more about the history of the engine and the 
> headlamp.  The headlamp came with a plate on top describing the manufacturer:
> 
> "Buda-Ross"
> Headlamps
> Mfd by
> The Buda Co
> Chicago
> 
> There's not much on the Internet about the headlamps or the Buda company.  
> Any information about engine 31 or the headlamp would be greatly appreciated.
