D&RG 805-826, Baldwin 1890-91 2-6-0, drivers 47", cyl 18"x24", TE 19,688#, BP 140#, wt 102,750#, Class 100 (class G-20, 1924 #'s 575-579) 805-807 to #'s 827-829 1908 to make room for RGW 21-23 (0-6-0) on the new roster.

D&RG's 1st big class of std gauge switchers. Mostly scrapped ca 1916-17, all gone by 1928 except #806 (later 828, 579) which lasted until 1936 for some reason.
