Detroit & Lima Northern Railroad No. 7 is a 4-4-0 steam locomotive constructed by the Baldwin Locomotive Works in 1897 for the Detroit & Lima Northern Railroad.

This Baldwin locomotive was originally used on passenger service by the Detroit & Lima Northern Railway, which was bought later by the Detroit, Toledo & Ironton Railroad.

This was also Henry Ford’s personal locomotive and it was used whenever he needed to go someplace by rail.

It was donated to The Henry Ford Museum by Henry Ford in 1930. There it sat on static display until 2007, when restoration to operational status began.

It has now been restored to full operation status at the Henry Ford Museum's Weiser Railroad in Greenfield Village, and has been pulling passenger trains on the Weiser Railroad since June 12, 2013.
