Hello, all... I've been poking around still trying to turn up
information on the 1936 shipment of the Palomar mirror cross
country. I imagine it's going to take a visit to the Newberry
Library to satisfy me, but in the meantime I turned up a bit of a
clue. Because I hadn't been able to turn up anything at all,
apart from a few scant descriptions in newspaper articles from the
period (April 1 in St. Louis, etc.) let alone photographs, I had
about decided that because it was just a "short" hop from St.
Louis to K.C. there must have been a haulage agreement to take the
thing over intact from the NYC under a C. B.&Q. crew. But,
no! Just tonight I found a clip of film footage that clearly
shows Locomotive 1374 - a clip credited "James Murphy C.
B.&Q. Railroad" -from the 2008 documentary, The Journey
to Palomar. The NYC's 2714 Mohawk took it from Corning to
St. Louis and the Santa Fe's 3157 Mikado took it from K.C. to
Pasadena (I guess it's an assumption that no engine change was
necessary along the way), but the CB&Q's contribution needs to
be filled in! The histories tell that James Murphy was a safety
and loss engineer for the Burlington who accompanied the train
from Corning to K.C. Can anyone tell me anything about the
1374? I've attached a screen shot...
Thanks,
Dave Ross
