Eng 1620 delivered from Schenectady, September 19,1914. Builder number 57321. Stoker applied 2-40. Streamlined 12-41 for the little 400 west from Wyeville, Wis. Renumbered 602 4-26-52. 1602 scrapped 3-1956. The Picture that you have shows a race train with first class, air conditioned cars to the rear of train.

Kris Date: 10/25/14 11:50 Re: mFile: C&NW streamlined steam 4-6-2 #620 Author: SR2 The (1)620 was used in Winona,MN as a yard engine before it
met the torch. The information is correct, 1956 is the year. If you look closely, it appears the other of the pair the (1)619's tender, also in yellow and green, is directly behind the 620 and tender. The renumbering occurred in late 1952, or early 1953 to allow for numbering of the new RSD4s being purchased from Alco by C&NW.
