November 16, 2018 All - Sounds like a good subject for an article in the BRHS Bulletin, "Oil Burners On The Q" or something like that.... Some interesting questions here - Louis Louis Zadnichek II Fa
I believe this photo was taken east of Boysen Dam, south of the Wind River Canyon, on the way to Bonneville and Casper- where US 20 went under the 'Q' mainline. I vaguely remember this place during t

November 21, 2018 Hol - Bill Barber has Emailed about my following comment on the steam escaping from underneath the rear of 5503's tender. I had suggested the leak was from a steam line to provide h
