it was the 710 from Lincoln NE fro cosmetic rebuild. it was done by Shop Services at the Midwest Central Railroad facilities there in Mt Pleasant. Shop Service was owned by Stan Mathews and they did all kinds of work on there own equipment and they the did work for several other Railroads in repairing the parts ship into them. I am not sure but i believe i was told that Stan invented the gun that is used by most steam crews today to grease the locomotive. if this not true then he had something to do with the gun. the also built from the frame up the locomotive that was at Micheal Jackson ranch.

I never heard anything about it after that, but did get a couple snaps of it in Osceola.
