Summary

[edit]
Description
English: This 2-8-0 locomotive was built in 1940 by the Canadian Locomotive Co. for the Roberval & Saguenay Railway of Arvida, PQ, as their number 17. Retired in 1970, it was sold to J. Thompson of Monee, IL, and stored in the Central Vermont roundhouse in New London, CT. In 1975 it was purchased by the Crab Orchard and Egyptian R.R. of Marion, IL, which at that time was running a tourist passenger service. Following a depot fire in 1977, the CO&E became a freight-only short line, and the 17 was prepared for service in 1979. The superheater and feedwater heater were removed; the original vestibule cab was opened up and moved back two feet. In this form the locomotive worked freight for a couple of years. In 1987 it was purchased by the Boone and Scenic Valley Railroad and moved to Boone, Iowa where it serves as a welcome sign for Boone along Highway 30.
