I don't know if it is the same one or not, but the Rock Island had one of those leased at Joliet for awhile.

I think it's the same unit. This unit still exists and supposedly is owned by the Medina Railroad Museum but is not at their facility as they have not been able to get it transported from Niagara Falls where the unit is stored.

That was a real find.  #718 appears to be in good condition.
Thanks for the nice roster photo posting.
