Scope and content
In September of 1941, Tommy Woodworth (left) and Jimmy Brush inspect the model of the 1870 woodburning locomotive William Crookes, proudly bearing the #1. (For a photograph of the real locomotive, see G44.1 image 129) As part of the Northwest Railway Historical Society's exhibit at the Puyallup Fair, models of the oldest and newest of the Great Northern locomotives were being shown. Tommy rides on the cars pulled by #1; a baggage car, smoker and a day coach. The other model (behind Jimmy) is of the new 2500 series passenger locomotive used on the Empire Builder.
