RE: [CBQ] Unexpected Visitor To Aurora

According to the Chcago Railroad Fair 1948-1949 web site, a postcard from the 
fair shows a Big Boy (the 4000?) as having been part of the UP exhibit at the 
Fair.

 I remember seeing an articulated being hauled dead in a train through 
Clarendon Hills.   I am thinking it must have been after the Railroad Fair was 
over…..it seems it was a westbound.    My grandfather was building a group of 
houses just east of the overhead crossing of Route 83 backing up to the south 
side of the tracks and it must have been in late 1949.  I would have been 4 
years old at the time….and, like later years, didn’t have a camera to record 
the event!
