While we've determined that the tender for the C&NW "Pioneer" is displayed at Villa Park, Illinois, minus the engine, which is in the Chicago Historical Society museum, we still have not ascertained what happened to the coach it pulled at the 1948-49 Chicago RR Fair. Does anyone know? Also, was the coach a replica or original? It would be nice to see this equipment properly reunited someday. Anyone have recent photos of the tender or coach?<br>
