| Original was in the Old Settlers Club in Milwaukee, but they apparently no longer have it. Thanks to some research done by Doug Hays we also know that the locomotive was named "Milwaukee" and that this locomotive was rebuilt in 1860 based on a locomotive that was originally built in 1853. All of this work was likely done under the guidance of master mechanic Cephas Manning. |
