<P>Can anyone identify which PRR locomotive the cab and backhead that are displayed at the Chicago Museum of Science and Technology, came from? The cab is labeled as #1361, wrong font, and has a photo of NKP #759's boiler in front of it!<br><br> aurora7@juno.com |

<P>I can't identify it but have you thought of emailing the museum about it? I was researching another of their exhibits about a year ago and found an email on their site. I got a response back 3-4 days later from their "brain trust" with some of the information I was looking for. They seem to have a positive attitude when it comes to helping out people with research. You may also want to discuss with them about the cab having the wrong number, font, and also about the photo of NKP #759's boiler in front of it. Since the exhibit is so old they may not have anyone around that relizes it's not accurate.<br> |
