| Looks like a photo moment with the engineer at the window of MILW 4-6-0 #1083. Originally built as CM&StP Vauclain compound 4-6-0 #362 in October of 1900, it led a full service life for nearly 54 years. Along the way it carried many different road numbers - renumbered in 3/1907 to #1712, renumbered in 9/1912 to #4312, renumbered and simplified in 2/1921 to #2862, renumbered in 6/1938 to #1083. The loco was scrapped in October of 1954. No photographer was listed. |
