109, no date, but likely Bevier, Missouri:

111, 1/5/38 Bevier:

112, 10/4/58, Bevier:

The 109 is at IRM after years in Vermont at Steamtown. The 111 was scrapped in the early 1960s, if I recall, after they leased the CB&Q 2-8-2s. The 112 sits rusting and rotting across from the post office in Bevier.

Bob,
CB&Q O1a 4955 (which was one of two locomotives used on the first "modern" era fantrip on the "Q" in 1955) worked the B&S for awhile. 4943 and 4963 were down there also with 4963 surviving a sale to Dick Jensen and now residing at IRM along with one of the 2-6-0s.

Am I wrong in thinking that the 111 was a twin sister to number 112? Also, wasn't there another Mogul in the mix? I think perhaps a M&StL engine? Since the engines seem to be numbered DOWN from 112 (perhaps to avoid that 113 "jinx"), then perhaps the Louie engine might have been #110. Anyone got a photo of IT?

Yes, the 110 was the M&StL engine. More info here:
