Re: [CBQ] Unexpected Visitor To Aurora

The DM&IR engines at Devils Lake were Nos. 222 and 223. It is my understanding 
that they were actually used on the GN (in the Williston and Minot area) during 
the winter of 1943.

  The DM&IR engines were moving from a lease assignment, not for exhibition.   
They were leased out to the D&RGW or WP on a regular basis during the winter 
off-ore season (don’t recall details but I think it was covered in the DI&MR HS 
publication not too long ago).

  Ken, Hol and Group - Rather than coming west from Chicago, could've the two 
Missabe Yellowstones (or others) been delivered to the Q via the Billings, MT, 
gateway and routed south to Denver for the DR&GW? Are the road numbers of the 
double headed Yellowstones on the Q the same as the two on the GN at Devil's 
Lake, ND? Would be interesting to know. Timing seems to be pausible. Best
