Charlie - The Q disposed of its Class M-2-A 2-10-2 types in 1953 and 1954, so they would've been gone by that time. Some of the Class O-3 2-8-2 types lasted into 1956-1957, so maybe they were mixed-in with the Class O-1-A 2-8-2 types you saw.

 

Since all the Class M-4-A 2-10-4 types were not sold for scrap until 1960-1961, they couldn't been included with the retired locomotives you saw at Congress Park. Plus, as far as I know, all the 2-10-4's were sold to NWS&W in Sterling, IL - Louis

Bill-

The Aeoli were deshrouded before I was born on Oct 12 1945.

I think we can rule out 1958 because I think I was in Wisconsin as a new boy at St Johns MA in Delafield, WI late Aug early Sep.

The three in 1956 or 1957 are likely.

Thanks!
