June 22, 2022 Bryan - Often, but not always, the Q incised the road number of the steam locomotive on the top of the brass or bronze bell. If there's a number, then it wouldn't be any problem at all

Zephyr No 47 shows S-1A 2815 on 8/4/51 and R-5A 2151 on 2/9/52, so we know it's sometime after that. Remember all steam engines had to operate backwards to Mt Morris from Oregon, as they took the wye

Leo, Pull out your Zephyr 47 and look at the station map (1928.) It's south of the mainline, closer to the river. When swapping engines for the monthly inspection, I would imagine the steam engine wo

Hi All: Can't ID the last steam dinky to Mt. Morris but will note a few things: 1. My copy of a Jan. 2, 1952, "Assignment of diesel switch engines" shows 9100-, 9200- and 9300-series switchers all ar

I should have checked the ETT. The Mt Morris job was trains 45 and 46 in ETT #31. It was scheduled to return to Oregon by 2:30 pm. At that point, I understand that the Oregon Turn (Way-freight extra
