The cinders in my eye were fierce, but like bikers and dogs on car rides, I couldn't help but want to hang my head out the window. I was fortunate to experience this trip and it makes me smile to this day.....Your old pal and blast from the past, Ben a.k.a. trap (according to the gorilla) Rohling. superglideharleyguy@yahoo.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1810478746663531557.post-67216167829131075222008-11-23T22:13:00.000-06:002008-11-23T22:13:00.000-06:00Randy,According to a Chicago Chapter NRHS flyer I ...Randy,<BR/><BR/>According to a Chicago Chapter NRHS flyer I have in my archives, the NW 611 was in the Chicago area last (I think) on August 6-7, 1994. It was there for the NRHS convention and a series of excursions. According to the brochure, it was based out of the NS's 103rd St. Calumet Yards.

Leonard Wood, in southwestern Missouri. I don't think there was a streetcar or interurban operation there. I think Springfield had a streetcar system for a while, but can't be sure. <BR/><BR/>My guess is "lead mining." Missouri had a lot of lead mines, and I don't know why, but I'm pinning my guess on my assumption that the locomotive is somehow related to that.David Wilkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13420287033827174299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1810478746663531557.post-42704804899149354382008-04-21T09:28:00.000-05:002008-04-21T09:28:00.000-05:00Excellent page on the steam locomotives Randy.
