Steam & Excursion > Early CB&QDate: 04/01/26 09:13 Early CB&Q Author: MacBeau 2867, a Class S-1, came from Baldwin, along with two dozen others in 1909, shown in Omaha the following year. Most of the class were rebuilt in the 1920's with pistons and valve gear moved outside along with the addition of superheaters and feedwater heaters.

So much to see in this photo — love the horse drawn delivery wagon and the Q depot — home of a TV station now. Thanks for sharing!
