| Description: |
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad 0-8-0 Class F-1 543 at Centralia, Illinois on an unknown date in 1952, photograph by C. W. Burns, print by Gordon C. Bassett, Chuck Zeiler collection. Number 543 was one of 175 0-8-0's built to USRA specifications, this one by the Brooks Works of Alco in 1919 (c/n 61236), was one of ten USRA 0-8-0's on the CB&Q (#'s 540-549) and was scrapped in August 1956. Note under the rear of the firebox is a box marked FIRE HOSE, not the best choice of locations, in my opinion. |

Number 543 was built to USRA design specifications in 1919 by Brooks (Alco) (c/n 61236) and sold for scrap in August 1956. The location is likely Beardstown, based on the March 1, 1955 CB&Q Locomotive Assignment Sheet.
