Rio Grande Southern No. 41

RGS No. 41 is a C-19 class 2-8-0 "Consolidation" type steam locomotive built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works of Philadelphia, PA in 1881, originally for the Denver & Rio Grande Western (D&RGW) as their No. 409 "Red Cliff" and classed as a class 70 locomotive. In 1916, it was sold to the Rio Grande Southern (RGS) as their No. 41. In 1921, it was reclassified as a C-19. In 1951, it was sold to Walter Knott and has remained operational at the Knott's Berry Farm amusement park in Buena Park, CA. The locomotive runs when D&RGW 340 is undergoing maintenance. As of November 16, 2023, it recently underwent a major overhaul at the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad (D&SNG) in Durango, CO. Following the completion of the overhaul, it underwent some test runs to and from Durango and Silverton, CO and was later moved back to the Knott's Berry Farm amusement park on December 6, 2023 to return to service on the Ghost Town & Calico Railroad.
