Q-steam: Northerns are in Golden, Colorado, St. Joseph Missouri, Douglas &
Sheridan Wyoming.
Mikes are in Mendota and Union Illinois, Lubbock and Marshall
Texas, the trashed 4960 is still in Arizona
Hudsons are in LaCrosse Wisconsin, Burlington and Ottumwa
Iowa, Union and Galesburg Illinois.
There are some 10 wheelers but they wouldn't really work for big mainloine
excursions.
Fortunately had the opportunity to ride behind 261 a couple of times.

Subject: [CBQ] Slightly off topic...MILW 261
This was posted on Illinirail so sorry if you get it twice, but here's a
link to a nice blog about Milwaukee Road 261 going back to Green Bay.

There is a clip that says Steve Sandberg, who restored 261, would love
to do the same with a CBQ steam loco. How many Q steamers are still
around? I know of the one at IRM and at Mendota, but what others are
left?
As someone who was born long after Q steam ended I'm really hoping that
happens!
