[CBQ] RE: New Images - Your help please

["Dave Lotz" <Dave_Lotz@bellsouth.net>]

Hi All,

I?ve just uploaded 4 new images to the Yahoo! Photo Album in the list?s
Photo area that are to seek assistance from the group.

The first image is help document a request for assistance in locating actual
parts to complete a Federal Signal Company Type 4 mechanism; the cast iron
colored glass holder and lens retaining rings or spectacle, and the mast top
pinnacle.  If anyone has these parts that may be purchased, or knows where
they might be purchased. Please contact me offlist.

The next three images are of an interesting medal sent to the BRHS to help
identify.  The obvious is that it was awarded to Hiram C. Washburne, who was
an 1865 CB&Q Engineer who was ?First in his class for Superior Management of
Coal Burner.?  What makes this piece interesting, is that it uses the name
?Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Rail Road Company,? which was only 9 years
old, however, the task of replacing wood -burning locomotives with
coal-burning was almost complete; with only 9 wood-burners left out of 105
locomotives on the railroad.  If anyone has any further information on this
Civil War era medal, please share it with the list and Stacey Babiarz, the
owner, who is cc?d to this email.

Thanks all for your help!!
