Doug - As I near my seventh decade, memories get a little fuzzy (like an  
O-1-A with worn valves desperately trying to stay one trip ahead of that 
brand  new EMD GP-7 hot on her cindery trail.....). Yes, that's it, the M&StL 
and  Railfan & Railroad Magazine. Thanks sincerely for the correct routing 
over  the "Louie." Now, I've got to look for that print of the C&O  2-8-8-2 at 
Red Oak. Best Regards - Louis

Louis the CGW did not serve St Louis. But I may know the  routing. The C&O 
sold several 2-8-8-2 articulated steam engines to the UP  during WWII. They 
traveled west under steam, getting on the M&StL at  Peoria and going to the 
CB&Q at Monmouth. A photo of C&O 1550 on  Kickapoo Hill (M&StL track) west 
of Peoria was published in the May 2002  issue of Railfan & Railroad 
magazine.
