Disneyland Railroad No. 3 Fred Gurley

Disneyland Railroad No. 3 "Fred Gurley" is a 2-4-4T engine or a Boston type steam locomotive built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works in 1894, and went into service at Disneyland on March 28, 1958.
No. 3 was named after Fred Gurley, then the current chairman of the Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe Railway, which was the sponsor of the Disneyland Railroad from 1955 to 1974. Previous to its use at Disneyland, the engine was used to transport sugar cane in Louisiana. Disney purchased the train in working condition for $1300, but then spent more than $35,000 on restoring it.
Today the locomotive is still at Disneyland while operating on the Disneyland Railroad. It is the oldest piece of operating railroad equipment in any Disney park.
==Trivia==
*These types of engines were used most common on American railroads during the 1800s and 1830s until 1928.
*No. 3 is one of two 2-4-4T locomotives on the Disneyland Railroad, the other being Disneyland Railroad No. 5 Ward Kimball.
*The locomotive's current whistle is a Buckeye 4 inch 3-chime, which replaced its original Lunkenheimer 3 inch 3-chime. The latter whistle was the same whistle shared with Disneyland Railroad No. 2 E.P. Ripley.
