Hol and Group - Quincy, Omaha & Kansas City No. 1304 ran a bell with
me. Although I do not have an image of the locomotive nor any of its sisters,
I do have an undated digital image of the Milan, MO, roundhouse that 1304
called home during the early 1900s. Here's the image both inserted and
attached.
I can't read the numbers on the locomotive tenders inside the roundhouse,
but I do not see any slope back tender meaning that 1304 might be working in
the yard or elsewhere on the railroad. Does the BNSF still run through Milan,
or was this line abandoned? I guess there's no trace today of the roundhouse -
