Under Construction
Northwest Steel & Wire Co.
This steel mill converted many locomotive and rail cars into steel wire and forms. They used a number of the locomotives as switchers until they wore out, and then they scrapped them. The final operation was by diesel. I do not have the date the plant was closed.
73 was built by Baldwin in 1929, #61004, as Grand Trunk Western 8373, Class P-5-g. It was renumbered 73 when sold to NWS&W and is now displayed at the P W Dillon Museum in Sterling, IL.
