United States Potash 3

United States Potash No. 3 is a narrow gauge (36") Consolidation type locomotive (2-8-0) built by Baldwin in 1903 for the Morenci Southern Railroad in Southern Arizona running from Morenci on the San Francisco River to connect with the Arizona & New Mexico Railroad in Guthrie, AZ.
When the Morenci Southern was abandoned in 1922, #3 was bought by United States Potash for their ore hauling railroad at Carlsbad, NM, where it operated until 1946.
It was donated to the Southern California Chapter of the Railway and Locomotive Historical Society in 1956 by the United States Borax and Chemical Corporation (formerly United States Potash) where it is placed on public display today.

*The railroad owned five Baldwin built 2-8-0s, including #3, as well as an 0-6-0.
