CBQ 4978 looks good
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.
