| Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad 4-6-4 Class S-4 3012 on Train #9, The Aristocrat, at Barr, Colorado on October 15, 1939, photographer unknown, Chuck Zeiler collection. Number 3012 was assembled by the CB&Q at West Burlington, Iowa (c/n 5356-35), the boiler was supplied by Baldwin, the other components supplied by the same outside manufacturers used by Baldwin. It was completed in July 1935 and was sold for scrap in April 1955. A personal observation, I question if this train was actually The Aristocrat which, as its name suggests, was a much classier train, but that's how the print was marked. |
