I’ve seen shots of 4960 on a railfan trip (no idea of the year!) that took the Old Monroe-Mexico line and then used a GM&O Alco to help turn it on the GM&O wye at Mexico before returning to St Louis.

Bryan - 4960 operated over the joint CB&Q-GM&O trackage between St. Louis and Kansas City during the early 1960s.  I don't recall if it was a deadhead move without railfan passengers or if it was a one-way trip to reposition the equipment. There was a GM&O ALCO road switcher coupled ahead of 4960 leaving St. Louis.  Perhaps, another Group member can give us a date and more details.  Best Regards - Louis

Do you have any information about CB&Q steam engine running over old GM&O Railroad between Kansas City and Mexico, Mo. In the 1960s?
