Re: [CBQ] Locomotive 1374

David,

Yes, the locomotive in the photo is definitely a Santa Fe pacific type 4-6-2 
no. 1374 and, I agree with Ed Pavlovic that the caboose is also Santa Fe. 
Furthermore, looking at the background of the photo it doesn’t look anything 
like Missouri. The hills are too rugged and the terrain looks more barren and 
desert like. I think is somewhere further west on the AT&SF, so they may have 
used more than one locomotive on the movement. For the record, CB&Q’s no. 1374 
was a G-1 0-6-0 retired in November, 1931.

Moving this load on the Q from St. Louis to KC seems rather circuitous. It 
would seem that a better and more direct route would have been MoPac unless 
there were clearance issues.
