Patrick & Duane,
In my quest to photograph displayed Q steam on lines west this summer, I came
across the 710 in downtown Lincoln. By a stroke of luck, I arrived at the
depot at the same time as eastbound Amtrak California Zephyr.
While I fully understand that 710 underwent a recent cosmetic overhaul, it is
clear that she is well taken care of by the folks in Lincoln. In my humble
opinion, 710 is probably the best looking "stuffed & mounted" Q steam engine
that I have encountered.
I have posted a shot of 710 to the photos section for all ...
Regards,
John Lewis
Palmyra, Missouri

Patrick,
The restored steam locomotive down at Haymarket Area next to the Lincoln
Depot was
a part of the Odell to Concordia CB&Q railroad scene. My hometown of
Washington, KS
was a stop on that line and the depot still exists as a High School
storeroom. See yahoo
group Railroad_Depots_West in the Files Section for a 1975 photo of it.
Steam turned
over to diesel approx 1953. The Morrowville, KS Depot still exists also. Are
you related
to Tim Vana?...Duane Koss/Blue Springs, Mo/BRHS
PS...The South Press book is excellent!... Be sure to get a copy!

I just want to thank both of the people (there were only two by my
count,
unless I overlooked someone or missed a post) who answered my questions
about CB&Q branch line operations in Northern Kansas. I will take your
advice and get in touch with South Platte Press regarding the CB&Q book
covering Wymore and Concordia.
