SOO 0-6-0T X90 - Minneapolis, St Paul, Sault Sainte Marie Ry |
| Description: |
Beginning as an 0-6-6T switcher (Minneapolis Sault Ste. Marie & Atlantic #38) built in 1887 by the Rhode Island Locomotive Works in Providence, it was rebuilt into an 0-6-0 in 1888 and numbered 321, and rebuilt again in June 1932 into this cute 0-6-0T (class B) configuration for switching duties around the Shoreham Shops in Minneapolis. After serving well into the 1950's, it was converted back to a traditional 0-6-0 tender based switcher and preserved in Manitowoc, Wisconsin. Note the fireman posed on the front as the engineer backs the loco. The date of this unretouched sepia photo is approximate - no photographer listed. |

SOO 321 |
| Description: |
SOO 0-6-0 No. 321 on display at Pinecrest Historical Village in Town of Manitowoc Rapids, Manitowoc Co., WI on 7 Oct. '14. Built as MSSM&A No. 38 by Rhode Island Locomotive Works in Oct. 1887; renumbered SOO No. 321 after MStP&SSM was formed. Later modified as 0-6-0T and renumbered X90 (side tanks added in lieu of the original tender) and assigned as shop switcher at SOO's Shoreham Shops at Minneapolis, MN. At some point after it was retired it underwent cosmetic restoration to its original tender configuration. It is the oldest surviving SOO steam locomotive and 1 of 3 remaining SOO 0-6-0s, unless the internet is lying. In addition to the historic photograph of this locomotive on this website, another can be found at: http://www.rr-fallenflags.org/soo/soo-x90dsa.jpg. WC caboose WC 99006 and an unlabeled flatcar are partially visible behind the locomotive. The SOO Collins, WI depot is partially visible on the right. |
