Yes She Was Big To celebrate the centennial of the opening of its Chicago to Aurora, Illinois line, the Chicago, Burlington, & Quincy temporarily painted its queen of fan trips, Northern 5632, gold. Seen here she is being turned on the wye. No doubt she was too big for the turntable. Note she was an O5B built by the Q at the West Burlington Shops.
Not
just heritage schemes, not just commemorative schemes - this album is devoted to some of the world's most interesting paint schemes, past or present.
