318 was built by Baldwin in March 1896 as Florence & Cripple Creek 8 "Goldfield". After the F&CC shut down in 1912, it was stored until it was sold to Rio Grande in 1917. At that time it was numbered 428. It would be renumbered 318 in 1924. After being retired in 1954, it was sold to Cornelius W. Hauck and moved to South Alamosa, CO. In 1958, 318 was moved to the Colorado Railroad Museum in Golden. |
