Louis,

Notice the lack of the Q herald on the tender in my photo.  Pretty sure 2219 spent her last days at Ferry on the O’Neill Line.

Scott - YES, same locomotive! There's a copy of a Q Locomotive Assignment Sheet dated February 1, 1952 reproduced in the Corbin Book. Under the Lincoln Division, 2219 is listed. The R-5-A came a long ways to be scrapped in Illinois. Now we can remember her in better days thanks to your image. Thanks and best regards - Louis

Group - BB 53 arrived in south Alabama this past weekend and, as Leo says, another AWESOME Bulletin.

 

I was particularly interested in the Laclede Steel Mill scrap yard photographs on page 29, the first I've seen. I couldn't make out the road number of the 2-6-2 type shown awaiting dismantling , but may be this inserted/attached image is it. Pictured is Class R-5-A No. 2219 constructed by Brooks Locomotive Works in 1907 and, according to the Corbin Book, retired in November 1953. This image was taken at Alton, IL, on November 25, 1953 and the newspaper photograph is dated December 9, 1953. Very well could be the same retired locomotive.   

 

 

In the image at the top of the page showing the line-up of condemned Q locomotives awaiting their  ;fate at Laclede Steel Mill, the first shown is a Class O-3 2-8-2 type.  I can make out the first three numerals of the road number, 532-. I think the second locomotive is a Class O-3, too. In checking the Corbin Book for disposition dates, there were only four O-3 in the 5320-5329 series that were sold for scrap in 1953. They were the 5322 sold in January 1953, the 5324 sold in November 1953, the 5328 sold in November 1953 and the 5329 sold in July 1953. Since the newspaper photograph is dated December 9, 1953, any of those four O-3's could be in the line-up.

 

As for the hapless 2569 shown in the early stages of being cut-up at Laclede Steel Mill, it was a Class P-5 4-4-2 type constructed by the Baldwin Locomotive Works in 1905. The Corbin Book lists it as having been retired in October 1953, so that works with the newspaper date of December 9, 1953. Laclede Steel Mill was at one time a major US Midwest steel mill. The mill scrapped hundreds of steam locomotives from various railroads during the early to mid-1950s. This mill closed in 1998, but emerged from bankruptcy with new owners and a new name Alton Steel in 2003. Best Regards - Louis

Another awesome Bulletin. Kudos to the authors and Dave the editor. The Bulletins just keep maintaining the society's high stan dard for publications.

Oh, and I think the new printer did a good job too.
