Summary[edit]

Description
English: CB&Q engine 3006, a Hudson class S-4, 4-6-4 locomotive, was built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works in 1930. It was one of 12 built by Baldwin for the CB&Q.

The length of the engine and tender is 93'4 5/8", the height is 14'10". The total weight of the engine and tender is 728,920 pounds. The tender capacity is 27 tons of coal and 15,000 gallons of water. It is said the top speed would be 110 MPH. When it was retired, the engine had logged 2,348,267 miles in freight and passenger service.

Engine 3006 was given by the CB&Q to the City of Galesburg in 1962. With the opening of the Galesburg Railroad Museum, the City turned over by lease the maintenance of the locomotive and the Museum since that time has cared for and kept the engine in top condition at its expense. The citizens of Galesburg donated $3200 in 1962 to pay the expense of moving and building of track for the engine in Colton Park.
