Charlie mentions the original Freedom Train.I have seen photos of it in
Burlington, Iowa, so my deduction is that it rode over the Q to get there.
No definite proof, though.

I would guess that the only PAs to make it onto CB&Q Chicagoland rails might
have been EL transfer units (or maybe even pool power but I doubt it) and
Santa Fe
detour units. I don't know if the original Freedom Train used the Q in
Chicago on its tour. The D&RGW units might have been delivered over the Q
but I haven't seen
any photos of them and I seriously doubt they ever worked into Chicago.
Hol Wagner would be the most likely person to know in the BRHS
community....or maybe one of the Bob Webbers (the IRM one!).
