Remarks: Two Minnesota "firsts" are displayed at the Lake Superior Railroad Museum in Duluth. The 4-4-0 "William Crooks" was the first steam locomotive in the State of Minnesota, arriving by boat in 1861. The little 0-4-0T "Minnetonka" was built by Porter in 1870, and was the first locomotive on the Northern Pacific.

Locomotive No./Train ID DM&IR 227 Unknown	Photographer: Jeff Terry Contact Jeff Terry + Add to Favorites

Remarks: DM&IR 227 is the best preserved of the three Missabe Yellowstones, thanks to the efforts of the Lake Superior Railroad Museum and members of the Missabe Railroad Historical Society. The Society frequently holds cleaning days to wipe the dust and cobwebs from this and the museum's other DM&IR artifacts, keeping them looking sharp! The lights come on, and the wheels slowly revolve (with recorded sounds of 227 in service) every twenty minutes.

Locomotive No./Train ID DM&IR 227 Unknown	Photographer: Jeff Terry Contact Jeff Terry + Add to Favorites

Remarks: The Missabe Yellowstones were among the most advanced steam locomotives ever built; nearly every feature was modern, and the whistle lever was no exception. There was no pull rope for the whistle. Instead, Baldwin fitted the 2-8-8-4s with a brass lever mounted waist-high on the cab wall. This is the one on the fireman's side of 227, the "whistle" stamping nearly worn away from its many years of service.

Remarks: Inside the restored cab of DM&IR Yellowstone No. 227. With the drive wheels slowly revolving underneath, No. 227 almost seems alive. The engine has one of the largest cabs I've ever been inside - even larger than a Big Boy!
