Running backwards, ex-Dresser Trap Rock Company 0-4-0T #3 breaks in after restoration, by hauling a train (including 0-6-0#353) at Western Minnesota Steam Threshermen's Association in Rollag, Minnesota:

This little Porter is LOUD!!! And puts on a great show! This 0-4-0T was built by H. K. Porter in March of 1924 (c/n 6854). Another ex-Dresser Trap Rock Company has been restored and runs as a tender engine, without saddletank, in Lindstrom, Minnesota.

I believe there are a couple of other ex-Dresser saddletanks in existance. Anyone have details of location and current status?

Here's what I have:

Dresser Trap Rock #1 (H.K. Porter c/n 5581) is stored at Iron Horse Central RR Museum in Lindstrom, MN. My website erroneously lists the status as operational, and this will be fixed.

Dresser Trap Rock #3 (H.K. Porter c/n 6854) is operational at Rollag, MN and was restored to operation about 6 years ago.

Dresser Trap Rock #5 (H.K. Porter c/n 6771) is dismantled at Rollag, MN having been used as a parts source in the restoration of No.3
