Specifications
| Pioneer locomotive No. 42
"Anglo-Saxon" was built by Baldwin Locomotive Works in 1880
to conquer the steep grades and sharp curves of Colorado’s Denver
& Rio Grande Railway. For decades, the highly successful 2-8-0
Consolidation Class was the "standard motive power" of the
narrow gauge railroad. Sold to Otto Mear’s spectacular Silverton
Railroad in 1887, No. 42 served faithfully for an additional twenty
years before being retired around 1909. |
