Northern Pacific 328

Northern Pacific 328 is a preserved S-10 class 4-6-0 "Ten Wheeler" type steam locomotive. Built in August 1905 by ALCO's Roger Works, she, along with her sisters, were set on fast passenger trains along the NP system until sidelined in August 1950. After being on display in Stillwater, Minnesota's city park, it was restored to operational condition in 1981, and was retired again in 1999. As of 2026, the locomotive is on static display at the Minnesota Transportation Museum's Jackson street Roundhouse.

History
Revenue service No. 328 was built in August 1905 by the American Locomotive Company at their Rogers plant in Patterson, New Jersey. It was originally designed for fast passenger service. In 1940, it was named Blueberry Special, after the train that ran between Rush City, Minnesota and Grantsburg, Wisconsin. No. 328 pulled the last train to Taylors Falls on June 30, 1948. In 1949, L-10 0-6-0 No. 1167 replaced 328 on the Grantsburg branch. In 1992 NP served as a regular locomotive on MTM's Osceola & St. Croix, MN and Dresser, WI. In 1999, it traveled a few more miles from the Stillwater and Taylors Falls branches it once frequented and made occasional special trips around the Twin Cities. == See also ==
