SOO 0-6-0T X90 - Minneapolis, St Paul, Sault Sainte Marie Ry  Contributor's Pick!       
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.
