Manitou & Pikes Peak locomotive #1, now at the Colorado Railroad Museum, Golden. Originally built in 1890 by Baldwin, it was rebuilt in 1912 as a 0-4-2T Vauclain compound, with both high and low pressure cylinders driving a rear jackshaft that then drove the driving wheels and the Abt cog. Used until 1944 when it was retired in favor of gasoline railcars.
