December 31st will mark the official closing of the West Burlington Shops ... a
place where many of the Burlington Route O5s were born, along with many other
notable locomotive happenings (Big Alice, Little Alice, the list goes on).
I plan on making the road trip to West Burlington this coming Saturday, 18
December, to photograph the "last days". While I fully realize that there will
be little activity to be seen since most everything has been transferred to
Galesburg or Topeka, I want to say goodbye to an old friend.
If any of you Q fans feel like making the pilgrimage this coming Saturday, I'll
be in a dark blue Ford F-150 4x4 with Missouri plates BB-63. Yell at me and
maybe we can share some memories of how it was.
Regards and Everywhere West,
John Lewis
