Location: St Paul, MN
Photographer: Ron V. Nixon
Railroad: Northern Pacific Railway
Caption: "This is one of NP's few named locomotives, Minnetonka, en route to the Chicago Railroad Fair. It is one of four locomotives used in the construction of the NP in the 19th century, spending most of its time on the west end of the line. It is generally regarded to be NP's first locomotive, and has been preserved and cosmetically restored. The cataloger thinks it is at the Lake Superior Transportation Museum in Duluth, MN."

Caption: 2148 is the first of the 1909 delivery of class Q-1 4-6-2s. The previous groups of Q-1s were built by Alco. At the time this photo was taken it was probably becoming unusual to see such an old locomotive still in service.

Caption: "Passenger extra 1859 east, ERTI special. The meaning of ERTI is unknown, but Eastern Railroad Telegraph Institute may be conjectured. The passengers on this train were Nixon's students. He may have been teaching them telegraphy, but it may also have been more general railroad technology. 1859 is a class W-5 2-8-2 erected by Alco at their Brooks works in 1923, and is the final engine of that class and that wheel arrangement that NP purchased. With the coming of the Z-6s in 1937, NP gradually moved all of the class to the east end, where several served until the end of steam."
