In August 1960 (according to the slide mount, anyway) DM&IR 2-8-8-4 is seen in Proctor, MN. It was subsequently displayed in Two Harbors, MN and eventually scrapped, to be replaced on display by 229.

And here's 221 under steam in Proctor, summer of 1960.

I think it remains a bit of a mystery why this locomotive was scrapped and replaced with a locomotive in restorable condition. IIRC, 221 wasn't in poor shape, just needed some tlc when it was cut up. |
