I am looking for history on Hannibal & St. Joseph Railroad Engine 35, the “General Grant”, built in 1865, which I understand was the first U.S. Railway Post Office? It ran on the H&StJ, a subsidiary of CB&Q. The engine later was renumbered #635 in 1898 and in 1904 became CB&Q Engine #49. The engine did a good-will tour in the late 1930s with the first mail car. What was it's final disposition? Did the engine survive? Is it kept anywhere that it can be seen?
