This is for the railfans out there. While going through the filing /catalog bin, I came across additional photograph of the NCO’s No. 2 locomotive. As a matter of fact I also came across a Western Pacific Railroad construction photograph taken near Constantia, that I might include in a possible 2027 Calendar, but that is just too far out me to contemplate.
In 1884, the Nevada & Oregon purchased its No 2 Baldwin locomotive new for $4,750. According to David Myrick’s NCO railroad locomotive roster the No. 2 was retired on December 31, 1918—presumably scrapped.
