Loud and Proud
Frisco 4-8-2 1522 was rolling an excursion along Burlington Northern's Ottumwa Subdivision in 1995.

Burlington Route's code line and a steam locomotive made for a fantastic image as the 1522 was heading for Galesburg.

A few years later the very loud steam locomotive was re-retired and is now stuffed and mounted in Saint Louis, perhaps never to run again.
