History
Built in 1899 by Rogers Locomotive and Machine Works in New Jersey for the Saint Paul and Duluth Railroad as #74. It was also used on the Northern Pacific Railway as well as the Inland Empire Paper Company as #924. This locomotive primarily switched both passenger equipment and freight cars in Western Washington up until 1969, when it retired and was donated to the Northwest Railway Museum. In 2015, members of the museum restored this locomotive to operational condition. It took five years to complete. It is stored at the train shed as of today, but it operates on special occasions.
