Frisco Silver Dollar Line No. 9

Frisco Silver Dollar Line No. 9, nicknamed "The Davenport", was originally built by the Davenport Locomotive Works of Davenport, IA in 1922 as an 0-4-0ST type under works number 1900.
No. 9 worked for the Wayne County Board of Roads Commission in Detroit, MI until she was bought in the 1930s along with her sister engine Wayne County Road No. 7 by Henry Ford. While in his possession, Ford converted the locomotive into a 4-4-2 type by adding a new pilot, cab, and trailing trucks, as well as a tender. 
No. 9 was later sold to Thousand Island Amusement Park in Alexandria Park, NY in 1955 before being acquired by Silver Dollar City in 1961. It became the first locomotive to ever run for the Frisco Silver Dollar Line when they opened in 1962. It was originally numbered 76 when it was in operation, but has since been renumbered to 9 retiring the number 76 to another locomotive when it's service came to an end in the 1980s.
In 2017, No. 9 was cosmetically restored and placed on static display near the Frisco Silver Dollar Line train depot. In March 2022, it was fitted with a new pilot, a bell, and a Chinese 5-chime whistle. It has yet to be determined whether or not the locomotive will ever run on the rails again.
==Trivia==
*Even though this locomotive is now known as No. 9, it is incorrectly labeled as No. 6 for some unknown reason.
