Bob,
The list you got raises some questions, first it doesn’t list 1907 which is the engine Dennis asked about and is second engine in the photo with 1955 that Michael posted. There is also a photo on Castle Graphics, link below Then it lists two 2-8-2’s which I had never had any reference to.
The info I have had is In WW2 the CB&Q leased
3 Praries and 3 Pacifics to the SP. (No mikes that I know of). All engines have blackout
headlight, blackout class lights, numberboards, and were conv. to oil. PRARIE 1907 R-4 Retired
12-46 http://transport.castlegraphics.com/displayimage.php?album=51&pos=4 1955 R-4 SFS
5-48 http://transport.castlegraphics.com/displayimage.php?album=51&pos=9 2113 R-5a Retired 9-50
PACIFIC 2932 S-2a SFS
12-51 http://transport.castlegraphics.com/displayimage.php?album=50&pos=29 2974 S-3 SFS 8-51 I have never identified the third pacific.
I am supposed to have five photos of these engines but with my superior filing system I can only find two tonight.
