I saw this on the Railway Preservation News site this evening and 
thought you all might find it of interest.  I post this for your 
information only (while I could make sarcastic comments on how the 
city allowed a donated Q waycar to be destroyed, I won't go 
there) ...

As an aside, I have heard through the grapevine that the 4 Q 
passenger cars in Atchison Kansas are available for the right 
price ... if the grapvine is correct (and I am not saying that it 
is), I wonder if Hannibal would be interested?

Regards from Palmyra Missouri,

John Lewis

>From the Lost Engines Yahoo Group: 

I am the Building Inspector for the City of Hannibal, Missouri. I am 
also a lifetime fan of steam engines. This city was once a major 
railroad hub with at least two large round houses and a beautiful 
depot. On the wall of our Council chambers there are two large 
murals. 

One of a riverboat, which we have one, and one of our past railyard 
showing at least two steam locomotives, we don't have one. As a 
matter of fact, we don't have anything that represents our railroad 
past. A couple of years ago I tried to locate a locomotive that 
needed a home. 

All I could find were people trying to make a lot of money from 
scrap deals they had made that included old locomotives. 
What I hope to gain from this site is a little help in locating an 
engine preferbaly close to Hannibal that someone would donate to the 
city (or at least not ask a small fortune for). 

We have a Historic Preservation class at our High School that would 
enjoy the challenge of cosmetically restoring a locomotive. We also 
have a large amount of knowledgeable railfans that would help in 
this effort. 

My goal to secure a locomotive we can build a Railroad park around. 
Any and all help will be greatly appreciated. You can email me at 
sigseven@yahoo.com or contact me at 573-221-0111 x 205. 
Thanks, Joey Burnham
