Gary Everhart General That is a classic work shot. Only thing missing is a crew member at the window. 8/14/2013 5:19:41 AM
L P General Didn't they have steam at least into the 70s if not the 80s? 8/14/2013 11:15:27 AM
Chuck Zeiler General The following is from Wikipedia: Northwestern Steel's steam engines were among the last to operate in the United States. Old No. 73, as it was known, (a 1929 Baldwin locomotive) was the final steam engine to be used in America. NWSW last used the locomotive on Dec. 3, 1980 at 10 a.m. Its final run was made coupled to the technology that replaced it, a diesel engine. 8/14/2013 5:36:26 PM
