Posted by Don Oltmann on May 5, 2011  Great shot. An CB&Q SW1 would be cool enough, but on a turntable in front of a roundhouse? Terrific!

This continued when she became BN 97 after the 1970 merger. She was built in 1941 and I caught her on the Aurora turntable in 1969. The last pictures of her I could find of her were taken last year as Independent Locomotive Service (ILSX) #1366 working in Bottineau, ND. The CB&Q Historical Society show six CB&Q SW1s still active. WOW! That's a lot of cars switched.
