   Archie Hayden is correct. St. Louis & Hannibal 1413 was from the NYC 
System. Owner John Ringling purcased a number of locomotives & over 
1,000 from the NYC System. When the St. Louis & Troy RR started in 1933 
on 5 miles of former St. Louis & Hannibal track between Troy and Moscow 
Mills it leased # 1413 until a gas mechanical Vulcon was purchased on 
the used market. 1413 returned to the St. Louis & Hannibal after its 
service on the Troy Line.
   The St. Louis, Hannibal & Keokuk was chartered in July 1872. It was 
purchased & renamed the St. Louis & Hannibal in December 1885 by John 
Insley Blair of Blairstown, NJ.
   Archie is correct about the #270. It belonged to the Northeast 
Missouri Sand & Gravel Co. This company owned several grave pits. In 
1925 an article in "The Hannibal Courier-Post" noted that John 
Ringling, owner of the St. Louis & Hannibal, had sponsored this 
organization and was a stockholder & director. Vice-president was W.C. 
Ramsay who was general manager of the St.L.&H. St.L.&H. attorney J. D. 
Hostetter was a director of the gravel company. # 270 was in the scrap 
line at the St.L.& H.'s shops at Oakwood, MO, a suburb of Hannibal.
