Archie Hayden, a longtime resident of Hannibal, Mo., asked me, below, about the Hannibal & St. Joe's "General Grant."  What with the H&StJ being acquired, then sold, then reacquired by the Q, the road's early locomotive roster is fragmentary and little or nothing is known about a good many of the road's engine.  It is known that H&StJ locomotives 35-"General Grant" and 36-"General Sherman" were built in the Hannibal shops during 1865, when those names, as I noted yesterday, would have been very popular -- at least with Missourians in the northern portion of the state.  But whether they were the first locomotives built west of the Mississippi, and what happened to them, I simply cannot say.
