Actually, this is a very cool shot. The Wabash merged with Norfolk & Western in 1964 so this unit was still in Wabash colors 19 years later.

In addition to the unit at that museum...their is a nice one in Monticello, Illinois. WAB 1189.
|
Very attractive paint on this one.
|
The Wabash and NKP went down too soon. I miss the old Flag logo.
|
Very cool picture of my all-time favorite engine. I used to go to that museum a lot as a kid and was sad to see it get washed out by the flood in 1985. Do you have any more pictures from there?

Note the 7 1/2 gauge tracks; I ran the train in the museum in the summer of 1977.
