In my case, I went to high school in Prairie du Chien in 1951-1955, next to the Q mainline and saw a lot of the TCZ (4 a day), NCL, and EB, Plus a lot of Milwaukee 4-6-0s and 4-6-2s on local freights

Perhaps the similarity of the NP bobbers to the GN ones might have to do with the NP running through the same states as the GN, so the NP cars would conform to the same state regulations, further, be

Given the date, 1924, I suspect that the trains were pulled by Pacifics, as the larger Hudsons and Northerns were yet to be built. Of course, a high wheeled Pacific could move right along. Pat Egan _

In the early 1950s, I saw the TCZ, NCL and EB a lot at Prairie du Chien (a.k.a Dog Field) and it seems to me that the north and south trains were usually about a hour or so apart. I can see that the

Rather interesting upholstery. I think if they don't want those colors to fade, they had best get some covers over those chairs. Pat Egan _._,_._,_ Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to t

A little trickery in the darkroom can be cheaper and faster than sending two trains with crews and a photographer out to the boonies for a shot, to say nothing of how that might cause havoc on a busy

The Q was known to borrow diesels from the NP (and the GN), so apparently they borrowed steam, too. Considering an L-6 is relatively tiny (the HO Omaha 0-6-0 would be roughly comparable to an HO L-6)

A point to consider here, is that the paint jobs dated from 1929, and this is long before the super durable Imron (epoxy) paints we have today that last 30 or more years. By the time 3 or 4 winters p
