Here are several shots of the L-1s at Edgemont, plus the shot of 592 at Seneca. While the 591 was assigned to Edgemont it became known as the "Burlington Pet" and the photo of it with the yard crew was issued as a postcard at least two different times. It will take a couple of messages to get all the images through, as they exceed Yahoo's 10 MB limit. I have material put together for an article on two of the odd types used by the Q: the L-1 0-10-0s and the I-1 0-6-2Ts. Hol

Hol - Thanks for sharing the image of 590's smashed tender. The locomotive
that's shoved into the tender looks to be a Class P-2 4-4-2 type. I can't recall
having seen a broadside image of a Q 0-10-0 other than in the Corbin book. If
you have a copy of the Seneca coal chute with an 0-10-0 image, could you please
share? The Class L-1 locomotives were certainly an odd looking beast and
probably not a successful design as only three were constructed. They must've
carried two firemen to keep them hot. Interesting to know the 0-10-0s did
venture far west of Pattsmouth. Perhaps, an article on these
"orphan" helper locomotives might be a subject for a future article in
one of the BRHS publications. Best Regards - Louis

I checked the weekly Alliance Herald for October 26 and
November 2, 1905, because as a division point the paper carried a great deal
of railroad news, even a Deadwood RR news section. And, not
surprisingly, there's not a word about Indians on the warpath or anything even
vaguely related. The order, however, is still quite interesting, as it
clearly shows that L-1 590 was in helper service on Orella Hill.
The original assignments of the 0-10-0s included one based at Edgemont and
used as a pusher on Orella Hill, another based at Newcastle, Wyo., and
used as a pusher on the coal branch up to Cambria, and the third based at
Plattsmouth and used as a pusher out of the Missouri River bottoms
there. The engines rotated, so the same one was not always at the same
location. And a photo showing one of them at the Seneca, Neb., coal
chute is believed to be an engine being moved to or from the shops at
Plattsmouth. ; The attached postcard view shows the 590's tender after
it was rear-ended at Plattsmouth in 1907. Hol

Ardmore, SD is located on the Lincoln-Sheridan-Billings
line between Crawford, NE and Edgemont, SD.
It is my opinion that the
operator was powerful thirsty and just wanted to go get a beer at the local
establishment (Ardmore wasn't and isn't much) . So he made up some tale of
Injuns and told the dispatcher he had to leave in a hurry :-)
