Built in 1918, this engine was originally supposed to go to Russia! The Bolshevik Revolution changed all that, though, and it wound up serving on the Frisco. |

Description: |
The engine later worked for the Eagle-Picher Mining Company - Picher, as you Oklahoma residents probably know, is the ghost town that was abandoned due to the toxic effects of lead in the area. |

Still retains its paint a bit. It was owned by National Railway Equipment prior to joining the museum, which is probably why the CNW logo is not on it anymore. |

I remember passing a few of these on Amtrak trips a few years ago. All retired now. This one has been at the museum since 2018 and, with max speed of 125 mph, is the fastest engine they have. |
