I am modeling C&S in the late 1940s and 1950s and have a number of brass C&S
steam engines. In looking through my CB&Q/C&S books, I see a number of photos
of engines with coal and oil burning tenders. I realize that this is
difficult to document, but I am primarily concerned with the C&S 2-10-2s, both
the E5C's and the USRA locos numbered in the low 900s. I have one picture of
C&S #909 in excursion service in 1957, and it is still burning coal. One
picture of C&S #902 in 1950 seems to have a coal tender, so conversion was late
if at all for the 2-10-2s. #900, #902, and #903 were well documented in the
late 1950s, and they had all been converted to oil prior to their retirements.
Hol Wagner's The Colorado Road shows C&S #913 leased to the FW&D in the 1930s
when it was converted to oil. Which C&S 2-10-2s were converted to oil and
what years were these conversions accomplished?
