This is a photo I had taken on a trip to Ottawa Illinois back in July of 1986. This is a preserved 2-8-2 Mikado type steam locomotive No#4978 from the C,B & Q railroad, at it's original display location at a city park in Ottawa Illinois. During the 1990's, # 4978 and displayed wooden caboose were moved to Mendota Illinois.
#4978 and caboose are now the centerpiece of the Mendota Railroad Museum out in the western Illinois corn field country.
