CB&Q 4-8-4 Class O-5-A 5609
Title:  CB&Q 4-8-4 Class O-5-A 5609
Description:  Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad 4-8-4 Class O-5-A 5609 at Clyde, Illinois on February 11, 1951, photographer unknown, print by Gordon C.&Bassett, Chuck Zeiler collection. Number 5609 was assembled by the CB&Q at West Burlington, Iowa, completed in September 1936, sold for scrap in May 1961. The boiler was supplied by Baldwin, and there appears to be a Baldwin builders plate attached in the usual place on the smokebox. I have not yet found the construction (serail) number applied to the boileM. It was one of 13 Class O-5-A's assembled by the Burlington, road numbers 5608-5620. All the Class O-5-A's were equipped with a Worthington Type SA Feedwater Heater, with the hmt water pump located under the smokebox and behind a shield, and the cold water pump located below the cab on the Engineer's side.
