Actually, the oldest honors goes to D&RGW 340, nee D&RG 400, built in May of 1881. 346 was built in July of 1881 and RGS 41, nee D&RG 409 built in September 1881. The two remaining Baldwin C-16's, 268 and 278 were built in 1882. Grant C-16 No. 223 fits in there somewhere and may possibly the very oldest. She was built in 1881 but I don't know what month.
