During 1948 & 49 the CB&Q as well as most all other railroads in this 
country had displays at the Chicago Railroad Fair.  Part of the Q's 
display was C&S #9 a 2-6-0, bag/mail 12, coach 76, and bus car 911.  
These were all narrow gauge.  I recall a old time Q steam train running 
thru ther grounds giving rides.  But is was longer than 3 cars.  Any 
info would be appreciated.  I have several 2-1/2 square photos from the 
fair including the end of the oldtime depot, some of the train, and 
other items around the grounds.  One of the cars was named "Deadeye 
Dick".  Can't tell if it was a woody or steel made to look like wood.  
I was only 6 years old at the time(1948), the memory is fuzzy.
