St Louis or Las Vegas Steam Engines?
I am leaving this afternoon for St Louis and will be there through Sunday. I will also be in Las Vegas for 4 days next week. Anyway I was wondering if anyone knows of any steam traction engines or big gas tractors in these areas? I would like to spend some of my idle time looking at something of interest . I know where alot of engines and owners are around the country, but I come up blank knowing anything about these two areas? Any help or thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Warren Bellinger

Hi
warren. If you havent been to the railroad museum in St Louis it is worth the time to go.. I think it is called national museum of transportation.. on SW side of city. They have a big boy there and quite a few steam locomotives.

Re: St Louis or Las Vegas Steam Engines?
Joe Graziano fixed me up pretty good as we spent the majority of the day together on Friday. I got to see 12 engines, 11 of which I had never seen before. The one I had seen before, I was runner up bidder on at a auction a few years ago and it looks entirely different than the last time I saw it.
Thanks Again Joe, Warren Bellinger I figured St, Louis wouls be the easier of the two requests. I have to be in Las Vegas this Friday - next Monday. Does anyone have any recomendations for Sin City?

Re: St Louis or Las Vegas Steam Engines?
I'm afraid that the pickings are kind of sparce. The best I can think of is a trip down to Nelson. It's an old mining area. Not real big on preservation or display but you can tour the mine and they do have interesting stuff around. A couple steam engines and a few gas. It's about an hour drive down there. It would take up most of a day if you are interested. Last time I was there he mentioned a big old steamer out back somewhere. We might be able to talk them into taking a look.

Boulder City is about 30 minutes southeast of Las Vegas on Hwy 93; the Nevada State Railroad Museum has five steam locomotives on display there.
The Sunset Station Hotel in Las Vegas has a small German (Orenstein & Koppel) 0-4-0T; I assume on display somewhere. -James Hefner Hebrews 10:20a Surviving World Steam Project
