FGS #3 - Farmers Grain & Shipping Co

FGS #3 - Farmers Grain & Shipping Co
Typical winter shot taken in well named Starkweather, North Dakota. This is either a very old original print or a very old reprint, not sure which. Please help with information about this locomotive which I believe may be a 4-6-0 ten wheeler built for the farmer owned short line whose tracks were in soley North Dakota. The date given on the back of the photo was just 1916 and a photo credit was given to Ora C. Deal of Enderlin, N.D.
Date: 1/1/1916	Location: Starkweather, ND	Views: 243	Collection Of: Gary Everhart
