| Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad 4-6-0 Class K-10 960 at Lincoln, Nebraska on an unknown date in 1952, photograph by Dick Rumbolz, Chuck Zeiler collection. Number 960 was built by Rogers in April 1900 as B&MR 56 ( c/n 5525 ), renumbered in 1904 to CB&Q 2-6-0 Class H-4 1238, rebuilt by the CB&Q at Havelock, Nebraska in August 1908 to 4-6-0 Class K-10 960, sold for scrap in September 1953. An interesting note about the Rogers Locomotive and Machine Works ( later, a subsidiary of Alco ); the Works did not have a direct rail connection. The nearest railroad was the Erie, about a mile from the factory. The finished locomotives were hauled through the city of Patersonn New Jersey, first on temporary tracks laid in the streets and pulled by teams of as many as 20 horses. Later, when streetcars were operating in Paterson, heavy flatcars were used, again using "horsepower". |
