[CBQ] Trying to remember

[Michael Matalis <mmatalis@sprynet.com>]

A friend of mine and I was reminiscing about growing up in Downers  
Grove IL in the 1960's and we both seem to remember the CB&Q  
displaying a gaudily painted steam engine of either 4-4-0 or 4-6-0  
lineage, and perhaps as well an equally brightly painted passenger  
car, probably about the time that they were running the "gold" 4-8-4  
excursions.  In the past couple of month's I've seen a picture of the  
locomotive (up on a flat car if I remember right) but for the life of  
me I cannot turn up the photo despite a thorough web search.  Can  
anyone provide me with information about this display equipment, a  
link to some photos, and what ultimately happened to the engine and car?


Thank you kindly,

Michael Matalis
