Charlie - YES, that's the 0-6-0. I recall it came from a power company, but not sure either if it was the one now at IRM. The 0-6-0 had been stripped of just about every part that could be taken off. Thanks - Louis

The 0-6-0 in question sat on a siding just beyond the 47^th Street??? Crossing.  I’m not sure if it is the #5 that is at IRM now….

Hol - During the early 1960s when I lived in Downers Grove, I now vaguely remember that Commonwealth Edison in Chicago sold a 0-6-0 to Pielet Brothers, but I think the locomotive later ended-up in a park and was not scrapped. Perhaps, my rail fan buddies from that era (Bob Campbell and Bill Barber) can provide details. That would be the only steam locomotive I know of that was sold to Pielet Brothers. May be that's the locomotive your friend in Utah has photos of. Best Regards - Louis
