My guess would be Wabash. Q's 4-8-4s were all numbered 5600 - 5635, IC
never had a 4-8-4 that I know of and Illinois Traction was an
interurban electric RR which had no steam locomotives. I can't remember
what Wabash numbered their 4-8-4s. BTW, the earliest 4-8-4s were
delivered to Northern Pacific in 1926, I believe. That would make the
oldest one about 77 years ago.

Is there anywhere that there is a record of the steam engine numbers
I am
going through some old photos that are 80 years old or so my
grandfather
took. I have a pix of a 4-8-4 steamer number 6117 but no other id on
it.
It could be an IC , Wabash CB&Q or Illinois Traction as that is what
was in
the area of Hamel. Staunton or Litchfield, Illinois Ideas to see what
line
it was?
