| Post subject: | Need help - Davenport 2-6-0 |
I'm currently trying to research the Macomb Industry & Littleton Railroad, a shortline in western Illinois, and I was wondering if anyone had any information on the disposition of the railroad's 2-6-0 (see photo here: http://www.rr-fallenflags.org/misc-m/mil-s5awiu.jpg). This 1915 Davenport was the only steam engine the railroad ever bought new, and apparently was the only piece of equipment salvaged when the MI&L went out of business in early 1930. I believe this engine was bought by an equipment broker and towed to Galesburg, possibly to be rebuilt - but I don't know anything about it after that. Can anyone help? Was MI&L #5 ever sold for use on another railroad? Any assistance is greatly appreciated. |
