Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific 886 is a 4-6-2 Pacific type steam locomotive built in 1910 by the American Locomotive Company for the Rock Island Railroad.^[1]^[2]

History

The locomotive's real number is 887. It was renumbered 886 in July 1955 when donated for display. The real 886 was already scrapped when the city of Peoria asked the Rock Island to donate the 886 for display since it was the last steam locomotive to operate out of Peoria. What happened in the end was that the Rock Island offered 887, an identical model to the 886, to be renumbered 886 for display and the city accepted.

The locomotive can currently be seen on display at the Wheels O' Time Museum in Dunlap, Illinois.^[2]^[3]
