Re: 4960

Living in the Chicago area in 1965-66, I was one of many who enjoyed the Q's 4960 trips, right up to the last one in July 1966. I was always amazed at how 4960 could get out and just flat out run fast on the mainline. Very well balanced for 63" drivers.

I am just delighted that, at almost 50 years after her CB&Q days, 4960 is still with us and still RUNNING!

Wish the same could be said for SP&S 539, ex NP 1762. The NP's W-3 mikes were also a great loco and 539 is the only one left
