Help identify steam engine

Digging through old family pisc today and found pics of my grandpa and this old steam engine, anybody know what it is? Way before my time. Here's a couple shot of it and one of a water wagon. Enjoy.

Rob, I can't find a book i have on steam engines. Minneapolis engines had water tanks mounted like the picture, and used flat spoke wheels. But i am no expert. philip

Ask in the steam forum on Smokstak.com,

Looks like a Minnie Mo to me.

Minneapolis if you look close at the feed water heater (the small tube running beside the boiler between the cylinder and smoke sstack) it will say "The Minneapolis" there is no Mo or Moline at that time frame

The shape of the smoke stack also looks like Minneapolis to me so that is where I will place my vote. ( I'm no expert either)

Those pictures are nice keepsakes.

Looks like a Minneapolis to me. I love the old steam engines! I have a 1914 Case 40 HP Road Roller/Traction Engine myself. Great Photos!
