SOO 321
Title:  SOO 321
Description:  SOO 0-6-0 No. 321 on display at Pinecrest Historical Village in Town of Manitowoc Rapids, Manitowoc Co., WI on 7 Oct. '14. Built as MSSM&A No. 38 by Rhode Island Locomotive Works in Oct. 1887; renumbered SOO No. 321 after MStP&SSM was formed. Later modified as 0-6-0T and renumbered X90 (side tanks added in lieu of the original tender) and assigned as shop switcher at SOO's Shoreham Shops at Minneapolis, MN. At some point after it was retired it underwent cosmetic restoration to its original tender configuration. It is the oldest surviving SOO steam locomotive and 1 of 3 remaining SOO 0-6-0s, unless the internet is lying. In addition to the historic photograph of this locomotive on this website, another can be found at: http://www.rr-fallenflags.org/soo/soo-x90dsa.jpg. WC caboose WC 99006 and an unlabeled flatcar are partially visible behind the locomotive. The SOO Collins, WI depot is partially visible on the right.
