Charlie - The St. Louis & Hannibal Railroad was incorporated in 1878
and ran some 85 miles from Hannibal to Gilmore, MO. I believe it was
pulled up during the Depression. I'd agree with you that the 4-4-0 in
Bud Laws' image was probably overhauled once or twice by the CB&Q's
backshops in Hannibal. It does seem to have a certain "Burlington
look" about it, even though it's not originally a Q engine. Best
