William Crooks

The locomotive William Crooks was the first train engine to operate in the U.S. state of Minnesota. Constructed in 1861, it first provided service a year later in 1862 for the St. Paul & Pacific railroad, a company that eventually became part of the Great Northern Railway. James J. Hill had the locomotive pull his personal train. It is reported that he was responsible for saving it from the scrapheap when engines of its vintage were being replaced by faster and more powerful vehicles. The classic 4-4-0 locomotive is one of the only from the age of the American Civil War to survive to the present day. It was displayed for some time at the Saint Paul Union Depot, but currently resides at the Lake Superior Railroad Museum in Duluth, Minnesota.
