Re: Uintah Railway #12

The Uintah #12 was an ex-Florence & Cripple Creek 10-26 E Baldwin, a sister to the D&RGW C-18s. It was sold to the Eureka Nevada Ry in 1937. The owners of the EN felt the engine was too valuable to scrap when the line shut down and was put up for sale in 1938. It was moved to Las Vegas in the late 1940s and later to a spot near Boulder Dam.
