Good morning!Can anyone out here help me identify this locomotive by type and manufacturer?  Knowing that this picture took place in Franklin Grove, IL and that this picture is on what is now the Union Pacific formerly the Chicago and Northwestern, can anybody tell me what railroad this is?  Or any other interesting history about the locomotive, the railroad or the area?I am not much of a railroad historian... I just collect and run stuff from MTH Trains.  But I am a historic preservationist and hope to create a library and museum of artifacts including photos from the Franklin Grove, IL area.  If you are interested in our project, please visit <a href="http://www.chaplincreek.com/">http://www.chaplincreek.com/</a>.  This photograph will be featured in an upcoming presentation about the history of Franklin Grove and will eventually be on permanent display in what we hope to be a museum on the site in the next year or two.  If you care to write me, I can be reached at <a href="mailto:info@chaplincreek.com">info@chaplincreek.com</a>. I think this link will get you to the picture...<a href="http://s158.photobucket.com/albums/t102/jrbledsoe/?action=view&current=locomotiveinfranklingrove.jpg">http://s158.photobucket.com/albums/t102/jrbledsoe/?action=view&current=locomotiveinfranklingrove.jpg</a>Thank you very much!JT
