The "Alco-Schenectady Construction Number List" indicates that Construction Numbers 46575 through 46580, Road Numbers 473 through 478, were shipped to the "Minneapolis, St. Paul & Sault Ste. Marie" during October of 1909. If the Road Numbers increased sequentially along with the Construction Numbers, then Construction Number 46577 would have been Road Number 475. All of the units were Compound 2-8-0's with a "Specified" empty weight of 204,000 pounds (This is not necessarily the "Actual" empty weight).

No longer on display, dead storage would be a more apt description. The building being erected in the photo is a misguided attempt at public safety due to asbestos blowing off the locomotive. For the money spent on the building, the city could have abated the asbestos and painted the engine. At the moment there is no public access, as I understand it, the containment building doesn't even have a door.
