Jeff,
The number 5 spot plate was assigned to Eureka by the Sierra Nevada Wood and Lumber company up at Lake Tahoe in about 1901. The original number assigned to the locomotive by the Eureka & Palisade is the number 4. I still have the 5 spot plate. It has resided above my fireplace mantle for many years, but could still be put up on the engine if the urge comes over me.

Dan
