GANO 102 |
| Description: |
A 1923 Alco-built ten-wheeler from the Georgia Northern is displayed at the End of the Line park in Currie, MN. She also apparently worked briefly for Crabtree Coal and passed through the hands of Richard Jensen, according to Chuck's comment below. Looks like a few appliances and pieces are missing, and her eccentric crank has fallen off. I hate it when that happens. |

ILSX 1364 |
| Description: |
Displayed at STARail in Waite Park, ILSX 1364 previously worked at the Northern States Power/Xcel Energy plant in Becker, MN. But don't let the GN paint and logo on the cab fool you. She is ex-BN 87, nee-CB&Q 9142, a prewar SW1. She was never a GN unit. |
