| Description: |
With the changing light in the museum, the GN 4-4-0 #1 "William Crooks" appears dark and its brilliantly polished metalwork looks dim. The loco is anything but dim. This stands as an important piece of railroading history and its journey is fascinating to this railroad buff. Try googling it for fun! |
