Charlie - I was just going to reply the same to Peter.  The number 178 makes no sense for a gas-electric or switcher.  Also, I recall that in the 1960s the Ottumwa Division stopped eastward at Burlington, IA. Am I correct? If so, then during the 1930s, Monmouth would've been part of the Galesburg Division. Best Regards - Louis

Peter-

Something is not right with that number.

Look in the rosters on the BRHS website.  I don’t see any number in switchers or gas-electrics that have “178” as part of the number.   By mid-1930 all the numbers would be in the 9XXX series.

If you have your Grandfather’s date of retirement there are monthly issues of Locomotive Assignment sheets that detail what locomotives were assigned to each division which might narrow it down.

I would like to get information on CB&Q Gas Electric Engine 178 with any photos, build information, etc. Please let me know if you have any ideas where I can look. I learned this evening that my Great Grandfather's last run on the CB&Q was in this engine in the late 1930s. It pulled two passenger cars between Galesburg and Ottumwa.

Thank you.
