CBQ 4978 looks good
Title:  CBQ 4978 looks good
Description:  This class O1a Mikado is the centerpiece of the small but well-maintained railroad museum based out of the Mendota Amtrak station. All the connecting rods and valve gear are intact too, instead of being torched off like so many locomotives.

AMTK 4620 and CBQ 4978
Title:  AMTK 4620 and CBQ 4978
Description:  Today dad and I are beginning Day 6 of our Galesburg Trip, the latter half of it. This morning we started our day in Mendota, IL. We spent the night in the Quality Inn and Suites off of I39 just outside of town. The hotel sits not far from the BNSF Mendota Sub. When we woke up we witnessed an eastbound manifest pass with an H1 Dash 9 2nd out. We finally got out of the hotel as AMTK 381, the westbound Carl Sanburg, came into town. We got caught up in road construction which allowed it to pass us. Just as we got to the station the train began to continue west. Got it just in the nick of time to get it passing the CBQ steam engine on display at the station!

Chicago, Burlington & Quincy 2-8-2 #4980
Title:  Chicago, Burlington & Quincy 2-8-2 #4980
Description:  Good shot of this engine at work in a Chicago yard. Built for the CB&Q in 1923 by Baldwin, this Mikado-type loco was a class O-1A with 64" drivers, engine+tender wheelbase of 70' and an engine weight of 316,780 lb. Although not listed on the back of the photo, the location and date were determined after a search found the negative was sold on eBay in 2007. No phtographer was listed.

CB&Q 2-8-2 Class O-1-A 4980
Title:  CB&Q 2-8-2 Class O-1-A 4980
Description:  Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad 2-8-2 Class O-1-A 4980 at Galesburg, Illinois on July 1, 1956, photographer unknown, print by Gordon C. Bassett, Chuck Zeiler collection. Number 4980 was built by Baldwin in September 1923 (c/n 57073), and sold for scrap in October 1960. A personal observation, this locomotive appeared extremely polished for 1956, I wonder is it was a candidate for preservation.
