Description
Locomotive #29 is a 2-8-0 configured C2 Class Consolidation type locomotive. It was built by the American Locomotive Company in February 1907 for the Copper Range Railroad (located in Michigan's Upper Peninsula). The locomotive was used in freight and passenger service, which ended in 1946, until it was retired in 1953. The locomotive remained stored in the Copper Range roundhouse at Houghton, Michigan until 1967 when it was sold for use on the Keweenaw Central Railroad, a tourist operation based out of Calumet, Michigan. The abandonment of the Copper Range Railroad in 1972 forced the Keweenaw Central to cease operations and move their equipment out of Calumet. Locomotive #29 was relocated to Hancock, Michigan where it had been stored for thirty years. Locomotive 29 arrived at the Mid-Continent Railway Museum in May, 2004.{Information gleaned from the Mid-Continent Railway Museum website}
