This locomotive was originally the Northern Pacific Railway's Minnetonka, which was built by Smith & Porter in 1870 and one of four similar locomotives that served during construction of the railroad. It was shipped to the west end to support the construction of the line from Kalama to Tacoma, along with the other west end lines. When those lines were complete, the Minnetonka was sold to Polson Logging company. J.M. Fredrickson collection. Other Subject Classes: steam locomotive, forest, trees
