Steam & Excursion > Quick Look at an O-5Date: 06/21/16 21:08 Quick Look at an O-5 Author: UPTRAIN I found myself up in St. Joseph, MO today and decided to stop by and have a quick look at the Q 4-8-4 on display in the park. She's a July 1937 product of the West Burlington, IA Shops with a Baldwin boiler. The oil burner was donated to the City of St. Joseph, MO during May 1962 upon retirement.

was a nice addition. Out Date: 06/22/16 16:15 Re: Quick Look at an O-5 Author: bnsfsd70 Hmm... I've never been up there to see that one.
