Display 0-8-0 at Independence, Iowa. Painted as Illinois Central 30, but I think it is actually former Grand Trunk Western 8300, from long storage at Galt, Illinois. Are any more of the 0-8-0s left at Galt, or was this the last one? Oddly, none of the engines ended up in their native Michigan. http://abpr.railfan.net/abprphoto.cgi?n ... e_IA_a.jpg Further view: http://abpr.railfan.net/abprphoto.cgi?n ... e_IA_b.jpg It is displayed near this depot: http://abpr.railfan.net/abprphoto.cgi?n ... e_IA_e.jpg |

Sometimes it's better to just have the info at hand, than to have to be able to prove how smart you are.... Just purchased the latest issue of Railroad & Railfan (Dec 2004). Has a nice several page article on the NS&W locomotives. To answer the questions posted, (accordingly to article) 1) Yes "IC #30" is indeed ex-#8300 2) Yes again, there are apparently at least 2 locomotives stored at Galt, owned by IRM, which is looking for buyers. There is a vanderbuilt tender as well. John C |
