Nostalgia & History > Generating Quite a Crowd

Proposed as the last steam trip out of St. Louis, CB&Q 4960 generated quite a crowd between St. Louis and Hannibal, MO. In this stationary scene, Frank Tribbey shot the excursion surrounded by photographers and admirers. In the foreground an everyday switcher waits amongst the crowd.

CB&Q 4960 takes in all the attention during a stop on the NRHS excursion from February 1966. Not sure of the location, but somewhere in Missouri.

Also look at the clown on the front of the steam loco.  My, times have changed!
