Greetings list:

I'm trying to ID a CB&Q passenger train photographed crossing Rock River 
eastbound at Oregon, Ill., ca. 1910. The engine appears to be an R-5 Prairie 
with a consist of RPO, baggage car and seven passengers cars. Judging by 
foilage, shadows and the open cab door, the photo was taken mid to late 
morning in the summer. The date ca. 1910 is my guess accurate to say plus or 
minus three years.

Anyone care to venture an opinion or cite some timetable references as to 
what this train might be?

Regards,

Bill Diven
