    I have a photo in my photo album I need help identifing it. It was seen still working on the BN in 1962. I know some one here can tell me all about it.

    1962 predates the BN. This would actually be CB&Q. The 5632 was a CB&Q Class O-5a. Your photo is probably taken after official use of steam had ended, of an excursion train. Seems to me that I recall this loco ended up being scrapped.

    5632 was a CB&Q Northern and it was run on fan trips. At one time it was painted gold for an anniversary celebration. It was aquired by Dick Jensen, and eventually scrapped. The whole story appears here

    There is a 5632 preserved at Durand, MI, but it's a GTW Pacific. [​IMG]
