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
aka Burlington John
