Photo of ex-Northern Pacific 4-4-0 684 being towed down to the interchange by Nezperce RR 2-6-2 No. 9. Both would survive, the 684 in North Dakota and the 9 in Wisconsin. There are a great many Northern Pacific photos by NP employee Ron Nixon on this website. http://museumoftherockies.org/photoarc/nixon/nixon-loco/npl-12.html ryarger@rypn.org |

Did the NP ever operate the 684 after reacquiring it, or just tow it around for events? ryarger@rypn.org |

No. 684 was never retubed nor were the eccentric blades ever returned. Parkwater roundhouse workers (only a few left then) ca. 1968 said that the blades were long lost. Anyone know how it got to its present very odd location? |
