Patee House Museum in St Joe.

Subject: [CBQ] Trying to remember

 

  

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
Downers Grove IL
