Re: [CBQ] Strange locomotive...

Jan:

Looks like the number is actually 3376, which makes it a UP class A-1 Atlantic, originally built in 1903 by Alco for the San Pedro, Los Angeles and Salt Lake.  In later years, UP train 25 was a Salt Lake City to Portland mail and express train; not sure if that is correct for the era of the photo.

The back of the photo is labeled "CB&Q". However, I don't think it is...the
number is wrong, some of the details are wrong, and according to the photo it is
"Salt Lake".

However, it does have some details which ARE very similar to the early Q
Atlantics... http://transport.castlegraphics.com/displayimage.php?pos=-2320

Any ideas?

At any rate, I've posted a bunch of new stuff:
New CB&Q locomotives...
