Chicago and North Western No. 175 is a class R-1 4-6-0 "Ten Wheeler" steam locomotive. It was built in 1908 by Alco for the Chicago and North Western railway. 

This engine used to haul passenger and freight trains on The Chicago and North Western. 

The locomotive was owned and bought by Clint Jones for use on Keweenaw Central tourist along side with Cooper Range #29 in the 60s and 70s.   

This was the last steam engine to travel through Antigo where it haul a last excursion in 1957 and it was stored on the Copper Range Railroad back in the early 1970's. 

This locomotive is use on the Keweenaw Central tourist line along with Copper Range #29. The tender which is lettered for Northern Pacific was a replacement for the original CNW tender which apparently was beyond repair. 

The locomotive was abandoned in 1972 when Cooper Range abandoned its track north of Hancock. 

In 1974 two years later the locomotive was donated to the Quincy Smelter where it was put in storage and it still has the Northern Pacific Tender. 

On January 19th, 2018, The Steam Railroading Institute of Owosso, MI publicly announced the purchase of #175. The locomotive will be moved by road to Owosso in late spring of 2018. Once delivered, an extensive restoration to operating condition will begin.
