One thing that might be worth mentioning is that she was Northwestern Steel & Wire, I believe No. 30, before being placed on display as an IC locomotive.

Also note that the displayed photo is outdated, and depicts the locomotive in Galt, IL, where it had been stored. A trip to independence is planned to get some photos.

Changed location of this locomotive. Will update ownership history as soon as I get my hands on details.
