I found this while playing around at my parents house the other day. I initially thought it had something to do with their property because only the number was visible after a quick wipe...it happened to be the same as their street address. I took it in to show my Mom, and after giving it a quick rinse, I was surprised to see it was a railroad item! This particular railway operated under that name from 1896 until 1904, when it was aquired by the CB&Q. We live a short ways from Galesburg Illinois, which is a large railroad hub and once had a roundhouse for the CB&Q railroad.
