BO 4-6-2 #5629 - Baltimore & Ohio alias |
| Description: |
B&O 4-6-2 #5629 is on a fan trip but it's an alias of the true loco, GTW #5629. There is an interesting history how a GTW loco ends up being painted like a B&O loco. Built by ALCo-Schenectady in March of 1924 as Grand Trunk Western 4-6-2 Pacific #5629, the loco served the GTW for nearly 35 years before retirement in 1959. To save it from being scrapped, it was purchased by Richard Jensen of Chicago, IL, for its scrap value of $9,540.40. It was eventually moved to Hammond, Indiana and a local group of railroad enthusiasts restored it to running condition. Steamed up for the first time in October 1961, No. 5629 made its debut pulling a trip over the Baltimore & Ohio Chicago Terminal Railroad, for which it was repainted as a B&O as seen in this photo. Unfortunately, a dispute between Jansen and Metra where the loco was stored ended badly with the loco being scrapped on July 14, 1987. No photographer was listed for the photo. |

BO 4-6-2 #5629 alias |
| Description: |
Posing as B&O 4-6-2 #5629 for a fan trip over the Chicago B&O lines is Grand Trunk Western #5629. It never appeared on the official B&O roster so is a "Cinderella" listing. Built by ALCo-Schenectady in March of 1924 as GTW 4-6-2 #5629, it was repainted as B&O #5629 for fan trips starting in 1961. This is long after it had retired from the GTW roster. A special crane was brought in to the Walkerton, Indiana yard just to load the coal for the fan trip and a water truck supplied the necessary water. Sadly, after a dispute between the owner, Richard Jensen, and Metra where it was stored late in the 1980's, it was sent to the scrapper on July, 14, 1987. . |

BO 4-6-2 #5629 alias |
| Description: |
With a full head of steam and cars loaded with fans, B&O 4-6-2 Pacific #5629 heads out from the former B&O yard at Walkerton, Indiana. The loco is temporarily masquerading for the fan trip over the Chicagoland B&O trackage but it's true identity is GTW #5629. No photographer was listed for the photo.. |

BO 4-6-2 #5629 - Baltimore & Ohio alias |
| Description: |
GTW 4-6-2 Pacific #5629 dressed up as B&O #5629 sits in the make-shift coaling yard in the former B&O Walkerton, Indiana yard. A crane was brought in to load the coal and a water truck supplied the water for the fan trip. Quite a sight to see a steam loco back in the northern part of Indiana. Note the wooden B&O caboose #X2125 to the side of the locomotive. It serves as a great vantage point to watch the coaling action! |

Former Grand Trunk Western Railway 4-6-2 Class K-4-a 5629 at Blue Island, Illinois on July 12, 1982, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Number 5629 was built by Alco in 1924, acquired by Dick Jensen in 1959, and ran on several steam fantrips. It is pictured with the ex-Soo Line 4-8-2 tender which Mr. Jensen used to replace the original GTW/Alco tender. In the late 1970's Mr. Jensen was suffering from poor health, and 5629 was stored in Rock Island's Blue Island roundhouse. After the Rock was abandon in the 1980's the Blue Island property was sold to METRA who wanted the locomotive moved, and after much legal dispute, 5629 was scrapped.
