Title:  CBQ 4978 looks good
Description:  This class O1a Mikado is the centerpiece of the small but well-maintained railroad museum based out of the Mendota Amtrak station. All the connecting rods and valve gear are intact too, instead of being torched off like so many locomotives.

AMTK 4620 and CBQ 4978
Title:  AMTK 4620 and CBQ 4978
Description:  Today dad and I are beginning Day 6 of our Galesburg Trip, the latter half of it. This morning we started our day in Mendota, IL. We spent the night in the Quality Inn and Suites off of I39 just outside of town. The hotel sits not far from the BNSF Mendota Sub. When we woke up we witnessed an eastbound manifest pass with an H1 Dash 9 2nd out. We finally got out of the hotel as AMTK 381, the westbound Carl Sanburg, came into town. We got caught up in road construction which allowed it to pass us. Just as we got to the station the train began to continue west. Got it just in the nick of time to get it passing the CBQ steam engine on display at the station!
