Hi all,
Sorry I missed this commercial post as I was out of town with family for the
holiday, here's the email.

The question has been asked about the CB&Q steam with headlights on top of the
boiler rather than centered on the front of the smoke box. A review of the CD
"Burlington Route Steam Locomotive Photos" (140 CB&Q steam photos from 0-4-0's
to 2-10-4's) shows that most of the pre-1930's steam has headlights either on
top of the boiler or very high on the smokebox front. Most of the modern steam,
Mikados, Northerns, Hudsons, and the ten-coupled engines, have the headlights
centered. That CD is available from Merrill Publishing Associates, PO Box 51,
Merrill, WI for $20 + $2 S&H. Tom Burg

Subject: [CBQ] ?'s on passenger cars and Otto Perry
I recently saw a video titled "PRAIRIE RAILS" by Herron. It was a great
video, one that I will be purchasing. It covers "granger country" on the
Rock Island, AT&SF, IC, and of course the Q. It's a very well done video if
you have not seen it yet.
My question is that there is a scene of a suburban service train with a
Pacific pulling 4 cars. The second to the last car is painted a red (or
marron). Does anyone know what car the Q painted in this scheme? I wonder if
it could be the War Bond car.
Also, I was searching through the Denver Public Lib. files of Otto Perry
photos. There is a photo of a Pacific, 4-6-2 #2849 Train 5 at Hastings in
1935. The photo shows the head light mounted ON TOP of the boiler, not on
the front of the fire box. This is the first photo I have seen with this
style of head light mounting. Does anyone know if any other engines had this
type of mount? I wonder if it was a temporary mount.
