[CBQ] Hamilton & Kingston RR

["rmorgan28@charter.net [CBQ]" <CBQ@yahoogroups.com>]

Another old Missouri shortline loosely associated with the Q- the Hamilton & Kingston, 1890-1902. It ran 8.5 miles between the two named towns;  I have the following noted from a period source- No. 13 was apparently a 2d hand 4-4-0; no idea what Burlington locomotive was leased as a replacement.

Rick Morgan

"By 1901 the road reported only one locomotive, a No.13, which was considered in such poor shape that from Dec 1901 they leased a Burlington locomotive to carry out operations. 13 was sent to the CB&Q St. Joseph shop in April 1902 and scrapped, the proceeds ($600) going to pay off debt owed the Burlington.  (Mooney vs CB&Q, 103 SW 119, 125 Mo App 651, 1907) "
