Watercolor Wednesday - Keeper of the Winds
Author: rrartist

The AEOLUS, Greek for Keeper of the Winds. C.B.& Q. #4000 shrouded in stainless steel glory pounds by the Winona Jct WI depot with the Morning Zephyr in tow. Today the #4000 rests in a park on the north-side of La Crosse WI with a preserved Milwaukee Road caboose and the restored Grand Crossing Interlocking Tower.

Would it be possible to post a photo of #4000 as it appears, today, on display?
