wood pioneer [4)

 

My wooden model of the "Pioneer", the first locomotive of the Galena and Chicago Union Ry., a predecessor of the Chicago & North Western. I picked it up at a local memorabilia show many years ago. I assume it was a sale item or premium at one of the big fairs here (the 1893 Columbian Exposition, the 1933 Century of Progress or the 1948-1949 Chicago Railroad Fair), because the locomotive was on display at all three. It is now on display at the Chicago History Museum.
