From same source as last post.
1923, 100 years ago.
"The locomotive that spearheaded the growth of Chicago from a swampy village of 4,000 inhabitants to the transportation crossroads of the world is being groomed to ride the rails again.
"The engine, the Pioneer, has been moved to the shops of the Chicago and North Western railway system where it is being reconditioned for a key role in the railway's centennial celebration this year."
And, this locomotive still exists today at the Chicago History Museum.
Now There's a Bit of Chicago History. Right Frank? --GreGen
