Jim, it will be surprising if you get many candidates for bad 4-8-4 types. Under the very wide range of right operating conditions, IMHO, it was probably a perfect type. <br /> Recall Rock Island was so fond of them the road had a very large fleet. A web search easily locates a number of sources of information. Side note: Where CB&Q advertised "Everywhere West," seemed to me the Rock Island just went "Everywhere." [:)] <br /> Vern <br />
