NP 4-6-2 #2153 - Northern Pacific
Title:  NP 4-6-2 #2153 - Northern Pacific
Description:  Built by Baldwin in March of 1909, Northern Pacific 4-6-2 Pacific type steam locomotives #2153 and #2156 are two of the last 4 remaining of the over 200 4-6-2 Pacifics that NP had on its roster at one time. Both 2153 and 2156 were fortunate to end up at the Minnesota Transportation Museum. Originally NP donated #2153 to East Grand Forks, NS for a park display. In 2000, the city gave it to the MN Transportation Museum. According to the museum's website, NP #2153 was cosmetically restored for the time being while restoration of #2156 and NP 4-6-0 #328 would continue first. It is still sitting in the roundhouse shop area for vistiors to see during a tour.

NP 4-6-2 #2156 - Northern Pacific
Title:  NP 4-6-2 #2156 - Northern Pacific
Description:  Northern Pacific #2156 is a Baldwin 4-6-2 Pacific type steam locomotive built in March of 1909. It served the NP well in both passenger and freight service until being donated to the city of St Paul and displayed at Como Park until 1980. The Minnesota Transportation Museum undertook the extensive restoration of #2156 in 1980. Unfortunately, the restoration has stalled and now sits in the shop area of the roundhouse.

Title:  NP 4-6-2 #2156 - Northern Pacific
Description:  Although the restoration has stalled, the loco is still in a safer place than most 4-6-2 locos. Only four of the over 200 Northern Pacific 4-6-2 have survived being sent to the scrapper's torch. Maybe someday, we will see this loco and its sister #2153 in their full glory!
