D&RGW 315

Denver and Rio Grande Western No. 315 is a class "C-18" 2-8-0 "Consolidation" type narrow-gauge steam railway locomotive that was originally built for the Florence and Cripple Creek Railroad by Baldwin Locomotive Works in 1895. It was later purchased by the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad. Most "sister" locomotives to the #315 were scrapped, but two others remain today, D&RGW #318 which is at the Colorado Railroad Museum, and F&CC 10, which passed through a few different hands after the F&CC Closed such as the Uintah, the Eureka Nevada, the Last Frontier Hotel in Las Vegas, and is currently at the Nevada State Railroad Museum. #315 was retired in 1949 and had been on display in Durango until the Durango Railroad Historical Society Restored the Locomotive from 2000 to 2007. It has been operational since.
