The St. P&D also played a role in a Disaster known as the Hinkley fire. A Minnesota wildfire obliterated the town of Hinkley, MN, where two roads, The Eastern Minnesota RR and the St. P&D, crisscrossed at a diamond. In the midst of the chaos, two crowded trains clattered backwards out of Hinkley. One of them was the ST. P&D -Duluth Limited-, behind #69, a 4-4-0. At the throttle was james root. Root had seen a body of water outside of hinkley, which turned out to be Skunk lake, A low lying swamp. There was a mass exodus off the train as it caught fire. The survivors spent 4 hours in the water. By th es time the fire was gone, The Train had been nearly obliterated. The fire was so hot that the train had effectively been welded to the tracks.

Me and a group of guys were over there back in 2016 as part of the NRHS's RailCamp program, and we actually participated in some of the restoration work. Nice to see the museum's efforts, as well as our small contributions, finally pay off.

Great video, my grandfather was an engineer in this class of engine for the Lake Erie & Western. It is nice to see this class of engine still in operation. Thanks for bringing it to my home.

I remember going to the Northwest Railway Museum in the early 2010s, and one of the photos that my dad has is one of 924 before restoration
