    This is the only turntable at Dundalk on the old OSI map.

    The original shaded lettering "17?" is more ornate than the new lettering "CIE".

    blackpoolbeach Thanks Pete. Now located on Flickr Map. Plus thanks for CIÉ rather than CN. The hook is a little obscuring, but I had thought I could see a stroke...

    William Crooks refers to the locomotive. It was the first one in the State of Minnesota. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Crooks

    Captain Slack: Thanks for the additional information. We will update the source data and reload the description.
  • Scintillating Self said:
    The 6th man from the left (beard) is James J. Hill President of Great Northern Railway who died in 1916, and the building looks like the Saint Paul Minnesota Union Depot
  • Peter Solano said:
    I like this photo, I only wish the signature were somewhere else less visible.
  • technogeo said:
    Interesting example of a preserved (and restored) machine in the early 20th century: a wood-burning 1861 steam locomotive, ca. 1915.

All that remains of the GNR!
