| Post subject: | Rock Island 9 |
Acquired by the CRI&P from subsidiary Warren & Ouachita Valley in Arkansas to represent an old time engine at the Chicago RR Fair of 1948-49. RI operated it for events through the mid-1950s, then stored it in the roundhouse at Herington, Kansas until about 1966, when it was acquired by individuals and moved to Mid-Continent in Wisconsin for operation. Now on display elsewhere in the cheesehead state. This photo probably about 1952, the Rock Island's 100th anniversary: http://cgi.ebay.com/Train-Postcard-Rock ... otohosting Later shot, when operable at Mid-Continent: http://cgi.ebay.com/Warren-Ouachita-RR- ... dZViewItem |
