This narrow gauge engine was used to bring ore down from the mine to the smelter in Oswego, and after the mine closed, to push pipe from the foundry to the main line. The men are all identified. In the cab is Gus Kiser, who came to Oswego in 1889 as a boy. In the center is Walt Waldorff, and on the right is Dan Monroe.
Note the rod extending from the cab to the steam whistle, which probably saw a lot of use.
