Thge 5620 at LaCrosse, Wisconsin on June 8, 1946. This one was kept by the Q until about 1964 before being sent to NWS&W at Sterling, Illinois for scrap. Was it a parts source for the 5632? http://abpr.railfan.net/abprphoto.cgi?d ... +nwD-9.jpg The 5629 at Lincoln, in June 1950: http://abpr.railfan.net/abprphoto.cgi?d ... +q5629.jpg The 5629 again, but no date or place: http://abpr.railfan.net/abprphoto.cgi?d ... q5629a.jpg |

Bob, Jeez, that is a sad shot of 5620. I would guess it was taken at Sterling after the scrapping began as she is already missing her tender, lead and trail trucks and two pair of drivers..... ;>) Don C. |

And it's the smallest boiler I've ever seen on a 4-8-4 too. :-) |

I think the first link is bad. It is for a C&NW 0-4-0 or maybe it is missing a few parts Tom C. |

Bob - Thanks for the corrected photo of CB&Q O5A class 4-8-4 #5620. Sometime after the photo, I believe the Burlington may have converted her to an O5B class oil burner. Anyone know for sure? Les |

There is a pacing shot of 5634 taken by Jim Shaughnessy in 1956 in a book titled "The Steam Locomotive' by Jim Boyd. I don't know how to scan it or post it, but it is one of the coolest steam action shots around...Do you have it Bob? |

Les, Yes, #5620 was converted to burn oil and was classified an O5b. It is a shame that she lasted into the early 1960's and wasn't preserved. I was always a little irked that Aurora, IL, got 4-6-0 #637 instead of a larger locomotive. Too bad #5620 didn't get a chance to be displayed at the old Aurora Shops. Don C. |
