My grandfather worked for the Missouri Pacific and whenever a town/city that Missouri Pacific is promient in would have a parade or celebration the railroad would supply a miniature Baby Eagle train complete with diesel engine, cars, observation car etc. to run in the parade. The train was made by the Missouri Pacific when there was true pride, not just money involved in the railroad. This picture was snapped by your truly when I was about 6-7 years old in Desoto, MO. where the huge car shops were located with a Brownie camera. The occasion was for the centennial parade. 1950-51. I don't see the engine in my mementos.
