The C, B, & Q was the Railroad of my father. Burlington Northern is the Railroad that I worked on but I still have a stronger affinity for the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy.

My Dad died in 1991. I still miss him. He worked for the "Q" a long time. I wish I would have had more train adventures with him. Here you see him standing in front of the "Freedom Train" in the summer of 1976. The repainted Southern Pacific GS-4 'Daylight' #4449. The photo was taken if front of the old C, B.& Q depot [which was torn down in the late 80's].
Burlington and Santa Fe weren't the only railroads that ran near Galesburg. The Galesburg & Great Eastern RR, was a part of the local area for a good many years. here to add your text.
