This nicely posed photo of a "typical" American locomotive was taken at Fargo N.D. by noted pioneer photographer D. Jay Haynes in the late 1870s. Northern Pacific Railway photo
This engine was sold to the Canadian Pacific Railway in 1877 and renamed the Countess of Dufferin, after the wife of the Governor-General. The engine was in service until 1907, and was discovered abandoned in 1909. The engine was restored and is currently on display in Winnipeg.
