Hol,
These two photos of 330 and 331 and 372 were posted to the Photostream section of the Yahoo CBQ group web page. They were stripped from both my Apple mail client and my on G Mail on line account as is normally the case. Occasionally, I do receive an attachment with a post in the mail client, but I have not been able to determine what has to occur to make that happen. You might try re posting the C&S 800 photos as attachments only to see if they appear on the Yahoo CBQ group web page. Thanks for all of your efforts on this. I was just thinking that the stripping function may occur with something that Yahoo does in creating the digest format. I receive the CBQ group posting in digest form.

Just coincidentally, both photos were taken in November 1949. The first shows C&S Ten-Wheeler 330, with sister 331 coupled behind, sitting in dead storage at Lincoln while the Q tries to find a use for them after it became obvious that as oil-burners, they could not be used on the St. Joseph Division, where they were headed following the discontinuance of trains 141-142 between Edgemont and Deadwood. They sat there on the deadline well into 1950 before finally being returned to the C&S at Denver for scrapping.
The second image is nearly identical to the one I posted of C&S heavy Pacific 371 on a Chicago-bound passenger train at Aurora, Ill., in November 1949. This one is also a Chicago-bound Q passenger train at Aurora in November 1949, but with C&S 372 on the point. So two oil-burning C&S Pacifics were in service on the east end of the Q at that time. I'm short on assignment sheets for that period, so I don't know if they show up or for how long. But most of all I'd love to know why they were there!
