If you caught my Dad's an my movies Dave and I got copied on CD for the Geneva Meet there was a clip on there of the 35 and mail car on the rear of a freight train moving into Aurora for the Centennial in '64.  It was used many time around the system for anniversary displays before finally going to St. Joe.

In one of Mike Spoors books are pictures of these two pieces of equipment at the Burlington Iowa depot for some kind of celebration in color

Folks, Ive come across a photo of a CB&Q locomotive #35 which appears to be an American 4-4-0 and a H&StJoe mail car. The photo is in a book by Ken and Lisa Marks "Hannibal Missouri a Brief History" and is a reprint of an original from the Hannibal Free Public Library. There is an enitre section devoted to the H&StJoe. It also discusses the Civil War era in this section. Can anyone in the group tell me any information concerning this photo? I am particularly interested in the origin of #35 and it's paint scheme. Do you know if there are blueprints/drawings for her? I believe the mail car's colors are Q-yellow/tan and the striping is dark brown. Is that correct as well?

John
