|Built by Alco in May 1924, 2718 was the first piece to ever arrive at the museum. While technically obtained after the 261, it arrived earlier in the day than the 261. For the first few years of its time at the museum, the 2718 pulled excursion trains on the Soo Line's mainline with sister locomotive 2719. It was formerly retired in the early 60s. The 2718 was donated by the Soo Line on March 10, 1958, and arrived at the museum later that year. It is currently sitting in the Victor McCormick Train Pavilion. |
