1374 isn’t a CB&Q engine. The CB&Q wouldn’t have had numbers on the tender just the Burlington Route herald

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,
