573 was indeed one of the last steamers to run on the Wabash. A bridge near Meridocia, Ill. couldn't support the weight of a diesel, so steam was still used.

Whne I went to St. Louis and saw this in the Museum of Transportation I was told that this was the last steam locomotive that operated on the Wabash
