Kind of hard to put an O-5 in a enginehouse when it's only been built to
store a C-16 2-8-0 that isn't longer than the #5629's tender. Nice museum in
Golden but the O5 doesn't really go with their collection. I wonder how
attached the folks at the Intermountain Chapter of the NRHS are too the
engine. Sure would look nice up at IRM in Union with #3007 and the E5! How
is that Lines West got all the O5s the "Q" donated? Supposedly there was an
O5 stored in Galesburg for a long time (#5620 I believe). Anybody know the
story behind that engine?

O5 in my lifetime)
