StL and O Prairies went onward to the Manufacturers Railway where they were indeed converted to 0-6-2's. I recall that the StL and O was an Anheuiser Busch property, as well as the Manufacturers Railway. I beleive that at the time of conversion they were also converted to left hand drive like the other MRS locomotives due to a long lefthand curve going into thier prime customer (and owner) Anheuiser Busch Brewing in St Louis.
