Archie - As our resident expect on the Q in Missouri, have you ever come across anything about this movement.  Unless it happened entirely during night time hours, you'd think some newspaper along the route (particularly Hannibal and/or Brookfield) would've recorded if not photographed the movement. I believe that the more direct MP route wasn't used because of tunnels.  Best Regards - Louis

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.
