Detroit, Toledo & Ironton No. 16

Detroit, Toledo & Ironton No. 16 is a 4-4-0 American type steam locomotive built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works in 1915 for the Midland Pennsylvania Railroad as #1 and named "T. E. Herrick". However, it was never delivered and was sold to the Toledo-Detroit Railroad.
In 1916, the Detroit, Toledo & Ironton Railroad leased the Toledo-Detroit and the locomotive became DTI #16.
The line had gone bankrupt in 1908, but remained solvent until it was bought by Henry Ford in 1920, and operate until 10 years later in 1930, when #16 was retired and donated to the Edison Institute of Dearborn, MI, and later appeared on display in the Henry Ford Museum until 1983 when the Illinois Railway Museum traded BLE 2-8-0 No. 154 for No. 16.
Today, the locomotive is still part of the IRM's collection, and is on display in Barn No. 9 at the Illinois Railway Museum in Union, Illinois.
