possible stupid question, but how is that a 4-6-0?  I see trailing wheels...

I read once (Hilton book, perhaps?) that John Barriger proposed to merge the Monon with the C&EI.  Anyone know more details about this plan?  Thanks.

I hadn't heard that Ken, but it kinda ended up that way didn't it?  They both ended up merged with the L&N.  / Ron
