I believe this one was built in 1890 for the Great Falls & Canada Railway as one of 7 locomotives in the order. Baldwin class 10-26E, 16x20 cylinders, 37 inch driving diameter, 130 pounds pressure, tractive effort 15,300 by U.S. measure. Weight about 70,000 pounds. I cannot comment on what later modification may have been made by its various owners but the Rushton stack implies a conversion to wood fuel.
