I truly thank you all for all of your tips ... I guess I should have clarified
myself. I have already seen the steamers in Union, Mendota, Galesburg,
Burlington, Ottumwa, St. Joe, Golden, Williams, Childress, Wichita Falls and
Trinidad. In fact, I have drawn the dismay of my wife over the 5629 ...
whenever we are anywhere remotely near Denver, a visit to Golden is always in
order!
I'll let you know when I hit the road, most likely on the 12th of this month.
Would love to hook up with any fellow Burlington fans ...
Regards,
John Lewis

PS - A big thanks to Dave Lotz for bringing the BRHS Company Store to the
Galesburg RR Days ...

Subject: Existing Burlington Steam Locomotives
Friends,
As a long promised retirement present to myself, I have committed myself to
visiting / photographing all of the Burlington steam locomotives still in
existence that I have to this date managed to miss.
Using the list on the BRHS web site as a guide, I am planning on using the
following route within the next couple of weeks. Departing Palmyra, Missouri,
I will head to:
LaCrosse, WI, home of 4000
Bemidji, MN (home of an Navy bud)
Alliance, NE, home of 719
Sheridan WY, home of 5631
Buffalo, WY, home of 1175
Douglas, WY, home of 5633
Leadville, CO, home of C&S 641
Denver, CO, home of Caboose Hobbies (and a side trip to Golden to see 5629)!
Minden, NE, home of 967
Lincoln, NE, home of 710
Council Bluffs, IA, home of 915
I will visit other Q equipment on display along the route, but the primary
focus is Q steam.
What I am humbly requesting is that if any of you all know specific street
addresses for the locations of any of the aforementioned locomotives (with the
exception of 5629), please pass them to me at my email:
CBQJohn@msn.com<mailto:CBQJohn@msn.com>
in order to keep from cluttering up the list. Your assistance would greatly
facilitate my route planning by allowing me to punch in specific locations on
the computer's map planner.
Thank you in advance for your assistance, I hope to see you all on the road!
Sincere regards,
John Lewis
Palmyra, Missouri
