Northern Pacific 328 is a class S-10 (NP S-10), [1] a 4-6-0 Ten Wheeler type steam locomotive, was restored in 1981, and was retired on 2001. As of 2024, the locomotive is now on display and doesn't know if they're any plans to restore the locomotive into operating condition.
NP 328 is a 4-6-0 S-10 steam locomotive and was built in August 1905, In 1940 it was named Blueberry Special that ran between Rush City, MN and Grantsburg, WI. NP 328 pulled the last train to Taylors Falls on June 30, 1948. In 1949 L-10 0-6-0 number 1167 replaced 328 on the Grantsburg branch.
In 1950, NP 328 was retired and was sold to the Minnesota Railfans Association in August 1950, and displayed in a Stillwater, Minnesota city park. [2] [3]
In 1976 it was leased by the Minnesota Transportation Museum for restoration, and was completed on 1979.
The engine returned to service in May 1981, and did more runs during the 1980s. Between 1987 and 1991 NP 328 returned to Stillwater Branch and was owned by MTM and was a “crown jewel” of the historic experience. [4] In 1992 NP served as a regular locomotive on MTM's Osceola & St. Croix, MN and Dresser, WI. [5] [6] In 1998 it had a triple header with Soo Line 1003 and Soo Line 2719 at SteamFest 98 from Wisconsin to Minnesota. In 1999 it traveled a few more miles from the Stillwater and Taylors Falls branches it once frequented. It also made occasional special trips to other locations around the Twin Cities.
In 2001, NP 328 was retired [7] and Today it is an exhibit at the Jackson Street Roundhouse and doesn't know if there any plans to restore NP 328 into operating condition. [8] [9] [10]
