When native prairie in the Prairie Pothole Region is plowed, you will often find piles of rocks that were uncovered by the plowing process. These fields are often referred to as "Prairie Graveyards" as the uncovered rocks resemble tombstones that symbolize the demise of the former grasslands.

No. 3 was built originally by Dubs and Co. of Glasgow, Scotland for the Canadian Pacific Railway in April 1882. She served the C.P.R. faithfully in Northwest Ontario, Manitoba and British Columbia until November 1918 when she was sold to the Winnipeg River Railway (later named Winnipeg Light & Power Co., and then renamed to Winnipeg Hydro and subsequently known today as Manitoba Hydro).
No. 3 served between Lac du Bonnet and Pointe du Bois, Manitoba until she was retired in 1961. In 1966, she was moved to Winnipeg where plans were underway to have it run excursions during the 1967 PAN-AM Games unfortunately, these plans did not materialize. In April 1968, The Vintage Locomotive Society was incorporated, and No.3 was leased to the V.L.S. under an agreement with Winnipeg Hydro and soon after Society members refurbished her and put her into service in 1970 as the Premier motive power for the Prairie Dog Central.
No 3 is classified as an American Standard 4-4-0, meaning it has four small pony (or pilot) wheels at the front, four driving wheels under the boiler and zero trailing wheels under the firebox. Her overall length is 59 feet and the driving wheels are 62 inches in diameter. The boiler pressure is 160 pounds per square inch (P.S.I.) and the cylinders have a 16-inch diameter and 24-inch stroke
