1356 is a 4-6-0 built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works in 1902 for the Northern Pacific Railway. An S-4 class locomotive, it is apparently one of four of the type from the Northern Pacific which have been saved.
The locomotive was involved in a tragic bridge collapse on the Darby Branch in June 1943, was repaired and placed back in service, and was preserved by the Northern Pacific in 1955.
