The portion of QOKC west of Milan was abandoned to Avondale (KC) IN 8/39. Sources say the last train was actually the daily passenger doodlebug. Burlington operated the former QOKC line east to Green City until 12/59. The Q's own north-south line through town (Laclede to Unionville) lasted through BN; abandoned 5/81. That was the last of rails in Milan.

Although I do not have an image of the locomotive nor any of its sisters, I do have an undated digital image of the Milan, MO, roundhouse that 1304 called home during the early 1900s. Here's the image both inserted and attached. I can't read the numbers on the locomotive tenders inside the roundhouse, but I do not see any slope back tender meaning that 1304 might be working in the yard or elsewhere on the railroad. Does the BNSF still run through Milan, or was this line abandoned? I guess there's no trace today of the roundhouse - Louis Louis Zadnichek II Fairhope, AL __._,_.___ Posted by: rmorgan28@charter.net __,_._,___ |
