The American Locomotive Company (ALCO) built #2719 in Schenectady, New York. It lead an impressive career and was used on several company sponsored steam excursions in the early 1960’s. Prior to her celebrity status, the engine regularly worked out of Duluth and Superior running ahead of the Soo Line’s popular and all Pullman Class night train between Duluth and Chicago, The Laker.
