Lindsey,
 Yeah I don't understand why someone hasn't fixed the plaque next to 5631, it's clearly wrong. Here is a picture I found of the plaque from Sheridan, WY

Thanks for pointing this out, I've looked at the pics of the O5 at Sheridan many times but never noticed the 'Mohawk"

Yes I understand... it's just I thought I was going nuts.. the 5631 has a plaque next to it from CB&Q back in the early 60's that says "4-8-4 Mohawk"...I just thought I missed something over the years.. ;) . Sadly too, I am old enough to remember what steam loco was what..I was just too young to remember them all.. My favs were the CB&Q 4-8-4 O5, 2-10-4 "Colorado" (which ran on the Beardstown Sub dragging coal buckets as I remember)  and the 4-6-4 S-4s. The Hudson at the IRM I hope will be restored one day btw..

Hi Lindsey,
 
The 4-8-4 WheelArrangement 4-8-4.svg wheel configuration has been called by many names: Northern, Niagara, Confederation, Dixie, Greenbrier, Pocono, Potomac, Golden State, Western, General, Wyoming (Lehigh Valley), Governor, Big Apple, GS Series "Daylight" (Southern Pacific).  On the Burlington, they were always called Northerns.  A Mohawk (aka Mountain) is a 4-8-2 WheelArrangement 4-8-2.svg wheel configuration, and is totally wrong for the 4-8-4 locomotives.

Hi,

I got a message from one of our prospective O5 owners. In the message, there was some reference several times of O5 5631 being a "Mohawk" which I remember as being a 4-8-2 on the New Your Central I'm thinking.. Am I crazy here? I thought all 05s were 4-8-4 Northerns. Was there ever a time when CB&Q called them Mohawks? That's just seems wrong..

Thank you for your help..
