Proctor’s Yellowstone #225 circa 1963
The ol’ steam locomotive from the Duluth, Missabe & Iron Range Railroad that sits in downtown Proctor has been there a long time. This photo is from the Cliff’s Barber Shop Collection, dated 1963. Below is a 2009 photo from the Minnesota Railroading Photos on minnesotajones.com.
The train was most recently featured on PDD in the “Proctor on a Dirty Spring Day” post from March 27, 2011.
The 225 was retired in 1961, and donated to the city of Proctor in 1963. The C-200 caboose was added sometime in the early 1990s.
