Not the prettiest locomotive, but it sure is a pretty picture .  It's sure was fun to go and watch it.  Never forget it .

Thanks,  Craig Hanson

CB&Q  # 4960 was transported from being an ugly duckling, to a beautiful , well portioned steam locomotive, after the Grand Canyon Railway worked their magic.

Wrong!  She was a real coal hauling steamer and they wrecked her looks.

Way to go, Marty!! I played on this engine as a kid at North Freedom, WI when Circus World Museum stored her there after Lou “Menk the fink”
Canned her and 5632.
She still had a load of coal and winter curtains in her cab. Like you, I consider her “unrecognizable” now… Thanks for sharing her at Sandwich, IL and for the memories!!
