I've been busy with other projects and briefly read the Q Fan Trips notes. Does someone have a listing for all the steam excursion trips posted somewhere so one can view them and add information, dates, destinations, etc?
I too have several recordings, including a reel to reel tape of my trip in May 1964 from Chicago to Aurora and back to celebrate the 100 anniversary of the Q. I met a guy that had been recording a lot of the Q trips, he was at Berwyn when a fan trip with 4960 that made a stop, he had a large set up to record the event. I think his name was Rob Adams as best as I remember.

Cy,
No, I do not have information on that trip. Do you have any details? Labor Day was September 4 in 1961, so the trip would have been either on the 3rd or the 4th. I rode a trip from Chicago to Dubuque behind the 5632, but I don't think it was sponsored by the NRHS and I don't know the date. Seems like I also rode a trip with 4960 to Dubuque because I have photos of the locomotive going through the IC tunnel leading to the bridge that crosses the river.
On my spread sheet, I have a number of trips which I know started from Chicago, but I don't know the destination. Any help would be appreciated. I will add your to my file.
