 Here is an enlargement of Engine No. 7 from the 1880s photo of New London
Junction. 
 
Engine No. 7 began service on the  Green Bay
& Lake Pepin RR on June 6, 1873.  It was built by Grant
Locomotive Works of Patterson New Jersey  for $12,250 and named CHARLES RUSSELL
but soon renamed WINONA in honor
of the Minnesota terminus of the railroad. ( I wonder what Charles Russell
thought about that!) 
Number 7 was probably the Green Bay Route locomotive which was sold to the newly-constructed  Ahnapee &
Western in November 1892, where it was renumbered A&W #1 and finally traded to the
railroad car refurbishing company Hicks Loco And Car Works at the end of 1902 for A&W #3.  The history of the locomotive after that point is unknown. 
Back to the New London Junction photo.
