Bill, Hol and Group - I think all of this would make the basis for an
excellent article in a future issue of the Burlington Bulletin entitled
"Exotic
Steam Visitors To The Q" or something along those lines..... I have an
original photograph of a C&O articulated at Red Oak, IA, taken during World
War Two. It's in route to its new owner UP in Omaha. C&O (as did N&W) sold a
number of obsolete articulated types to the UP to help with their motive
power shortage during the War. As I vaguely recall, the 'round-a-bout routing
was C&O to CGW (at St. Louis) to Q (interchange point unknown) to UP (at
Omaha). I do not know what the N&W routing was. I think a long time ago
there was an article in Rail Classics magazine about the C&O articulated types
moving over the CGW. My photo of the C&O articulated might possibly be an
old Corbin print that was traded around. Will have to find, scan and share
the print. Incidentally, that image of the double headed Missabe
Yellowstones on Lines West is truly a one-of-a-kind. Priceless! Many thanks
Hol for
sharing. Best Regards - Louis

Are any record of moving these engines across the Q when there were brand
new on delivery from the factory? I am not taking just about the one
mention here but all of the big western units-- big boy- challengers- cab

Hello Pete, Hol, and All -
Trains magazine had a letter and a photo of WP 402 in the RPO section -
letters to the editor back in
1948 or '49. The date of the magazine would confirm the date of 402's
appearance at the RRF.
Photo was taken at Downers Grove IIRC and the locomotive is freshly
painted. She is identified as
Western Pacific's "Cinderella", which might not have been accurate for an
oil-burner. PAW

Switch broom and outhouse are a nice added benefit to these photos.

The two photos together exceed Yahoo's 10 MB limit, so I'll send them one
at a time.
