Engines No. 18, The Dayton; and No. 22, The Inyo Designated December 18, 1973 Reference no 73002245[1] The Virginia and Truckee 18 Dayton is a historic standard gauge steam locomotive on display in Sacramento, California. It spent its working life on the Virginia and Truckee Railroad. The locomotive was placed on the National Register of Historic Places, along with the Inyo, because of their association with the Virginia and Truckee Railroad and transportation development in Nevada. Virginia & Truckee RR 18, Dayton, in the Carson City engine house The Dayton, a 4-4-0 "American", was built in 1873 by the Central Pacific Railroad, in Sacramento, California, and was based on the design of the CP's 173 engine. H.M Yerington, the Superintendent of the V&T at this time, ordered The Dayton after seeing the performance of another CP locomotive, #117 Gazelle, that the V&T rented from CP during a power crunch.[2] [3] The locomotive weighs 78,000 pounds (35,000 kg),[4] has 60 inches (150 cm) driving wheels,[3][4] and carried 2,500 US gallons (9,500 L; 2,100 imp gal) of water and 3 cords of wood. A large snow plow was fixed to the front of the locomotive in 1879, and it performed snow clearing duties on the Virginia & Truckee lines during the winters for most of its operational life, in addition to its normal passenger hauling duties.[3] The Dayton at the Comstock History Center in Virginia City In 1906 the locomotive had the honor of opening the branch line between Carson City and Minden, Nevada, but after that it was used less frequently. In 1908 it was converted to burn oil rather than wood. In 1937, in one of its last acts on the V&T, The Dayton was plowing snow in Washoe Valley, near Franktown, when it derailed. The V&T being financially unhealthy at this time, simply got Dayton out of the way and left her until the snow melted in the spring.[5] In 1937, the locomotive, minus the plow, was sold for $1,000[3] together with No. 22 Inyo to Paramount Pictures who then had the locomotive overhauled at the Southern Pacific Railroad shops in Sparks, Nevada. Paramount had the locomotive repainted and renumbered for use in motion pictures.[6] The Dayton film history The Dayton appeared in several movies, beginning with Union Pacific. It traveled to New York City in 1939 to promote this film. Other movies featuring the Dayton include Young Tom Edison,[3] The Harvey Girls and Duel in the Sun.
@@theprincipalpainter You are utmost welcome Carra. I inherited the interest for Technical things from my late Dad. Esp. Locomotives can have a very interesting "working life".
