Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad 4-6-4 Class S-4 3001 at Barstow, Illinois on August 31, 1958, Kodachrome by unknown photographer, Chuck Zeiler collection. Obviously on a fantrip, this locomotive was built by Baldwin in 1930 (c/n 61446), one of 12 class S4 4-6-4 types the CB&Q received from Baldwin during that year (#'s 3000-3011). The CB&Q built one more S4 (# 3012) at their West Burlington, Iowa shops in 1935 using a boiler supplied by Baldwin. The Burlington thought highly of the S4's, five out of the 13 were donated to various cities on the system, this one was donated to the City of Ottumwa, Iowa a year after this trip. |
