The NCO actually had two locomotives designated the No. 4. The first one was sold to the Tonopah Railroad in 1904. It was replaced by by the NCO’s No. 6, which was then designated the No. 4, after the original one was sold. It was, of course, became part of the Southern Pacific when that railroad bought the troubled NCO Railway. According to railroad historian, David Myrick, it was “broken up” on September 12, 1934 at Sacramento. I am not sure what the difference is between being broken up and scrapped.
