This 51-year-old 192,500-pound locomotive Tuesday was given by the Illinois Central Railroad to the Museum of Transport of Barrett Station, St. Louis County. The relic was presented by Robert O. Bedell, superintendent of the railroad, left, to Dr. John P. Roberts, president of the museum, at the Illinois Central roundhouse, Fourth Street and Trendley Ave. The locomotive last was used earlier this year by the Memphis division of the ICR.
