That's Not the Real 4960!

Those of us that became railfans in Chicagoland in the 1950s and 60s weep every time we see a picture of the butchered CB&Q 4960 on the GCR. She was a work-every-day freight hauler. Not a pretty-faced high-wheeler. It's sad they didn't respect her.

Here she is with a fan trip on the CB&Q once she was retired from active duty. Yes, she could haul a passenger train at a mile a minute. Click here.
