According to the Connelly and Rhode Island Lists the ex-GN K-9 Rhode Island 4-6-0s_were as follows:
CB&Q 943 GN 994 2264 Macon Construction Company 131 18x24 62” Dec 1889 ret 10/12 to Wyoming Pacific Improvement Co. 10 Pacific Short Line
CB&Q 944 GN 995 2265 Macon Construction Company 132 18x24 62” Dec 1889 ret 10/13 to Wyoming Pacific Improvement Co. 11 Pacific Short Line
CB&Q 945 GN 996 2328 Wyoming Pacific Improvement Co. 12 18x24 55” Apr 1890 ret 11/13
CB&Q 946 GN 997 2440 Wyoming Pacific Improvement Co. 15 18x24 54” Aug 1890 disposition unknown
I wish Joe were still with us to weigh in on this discussion….he may have provided more up-to-date information to Connelly. The Rhode Island lists do not indicate the engines going to the GN or the CB&Q, but all seem to be contractors locomotives and if anyone has more detailed info on the building of the O’Neil branch it may help clarify if the info is likely to be correct.
