CB&Q 4-4-0 Class A-2 440
Title:  CB&Q 4-4-0 Class A-2 440
Description:  Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad 4-4-0 Class A-2 440 at Aurora, Illinois on an unknown day in October 1940 ( 18, 19, or 20 ), photographer unknown. The following is excerpted from Burlington Route Historical Society Bulletin 45, entitled "Modern Americans", edited by Hol Wagner:

Number 440 was built by Hinckley Locomotive Works in December 1883 ( c/n 1657 ) as CB&Q 445, becoming Burlington & Missouri River Railroad number 156 in 1886. In 1904 it was renumbered to CB&Q Class A-2 324. In July 1916 it was rebuilt at Havelock and renumbered 440. In July 1926, it was sold for $3,000.00 to Pete Hedgpeth as Rock Port Langdon & Northern 440 and fitted with a slopeback tender from a Kansas City Terminal switcher. In 1940, the Burlington celebrated their 90th Anniversary. As it happened, Number 35 ( Burlington's exhibition 4-4-0 ) was at the New York World's Fair, which the Q did not wish to disturb. So the 440 was borrowed from the RPL&N, fitted with a diamond stack and long cow catcher at the Saint Joseph, Missouri shops, and a rectangular tender from a retired A-2 ( the original had rusted out ), and sent on tour of Lines East locations as B&MR 156 ( notably, Lincoln and Council Bluffs ), but for the appearance at Aurora it was repainted to CB&Q 440. When it exhibition duties were finished, the 440 was returned to the RPL&N and reunited with the slopeback tender. The 440 made its last trip on the RPL&N on November 11, 1945 after that road suffered two track washouts. The assets of the RPL&N were sold off, and the 440 was scrapped in the summer of 1953.

CB&Q 4-4-0 Class A-6 747
Title:  CB&Q 4-4-0 Class A-6 747
Description:  Saint Louis Keokuk & North Western 4-4-0 747 at Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, sometime in 1898, photo by Pittsburgh Locomotive & Car Works, Chuck Zeiler collection. Built sometime during 1898 (c/n 1834) by Pittsburgh (Pittsburgh became part of Alco in 1901) for the Saint Louis Keokuk & Northwestern as their 747, during 1904 it was renumbered into the Burlington System as Class A-6 478. However, the CB&Q was rebuilding its older 4-4-0 locomotives, and the rebuilt class A-2's extended into the 478 number series, so this locomotive was again renumbered to 199 sometime during 1916. It was retired in June 1927.

BM #916 - Boston & Maine
Title:  BM #916 - Boston & Maine
Description:  Here is a very early locomotive built by the Manchester Locomotive Works in 1893. It was a B&M class A-38a with 64" drivers. It generated a modest boiler pressure of 150 psi for its 18"x24" cylinders. The engine weight was a petite 100,800 lb and it produced a tractive effot a mere 15,491 lb but worked well with the early passenger and freight car weights of its time. A note on back of the photo states that this locomotive was "scrapped 1937" but Steamlocomotive.com website has it scrapped much earlier, in 1923. No photographer identified.
