CBQ 4-8-4 #5629 - Chicago, Burlington & Quincy |
| Description: |
We were impressed by the massive CBQ 4-8-4 #5629. Wish it had been in the sunwhen I took the photo! The largest steam engine at the Museum, CB&Q No. 5629 was built in 1940 by the Burlington Route Railroad in their own shops and was used for heavy freight and passenger service. It remained in service until the early 1960s, when it was purchased by the Intermountain Chapter of the National Railway Historical Society and moved to the Colorado Railroad Museum in 1963. No. 5629 is one of only four Burlington locomotives of its type still in existence. |

Here's another view of the massive CBQ 4-8-4 #5629 that I took while at the museum. Wish I had been on the sun side of the loco. |

CBQ 4-8-4 #5629 |
| Description: |
Built in West Burlington, Iowa in June 1940, No. 5629 was one of 15 engines—numbered 5621 to 5635—that constituted the last new class of steam locomotives. Designed for fast freight and heavy passenger service, No. 5629 began its career on the Chicago to Denver mainline. It was transferred to the Twin Cities in the mid-1940s and made its way back west in 1950, hauling freight between Lincoln, Nebraska and Denver, Colorado. After being converted from burning coal to oil, it was stored in Lincoln and served as a stationary boiler, providing heat to the Lincoln station during a renovation in the winter of 1961. On August 30, 1963, CB&Q Vice President J.J. Alms presented No. 5629 to the Colorado Railroad Museum Rail fan Jim Lockart took this color slide on one of his trips to the museum. |
