Oregon Pacific No. 5

The Oregon Pacific No. 5 is a type of 4-4-0 "American Standard" steam locomotive that was built by Baldwin in 1881 for the Oregon Railway & Navigation Company as their #44.
When the OR&N came under the control of the Union Pacific Railroad, the locomotive was renumbered #529. It later transferred to the Oregon Railway & Navigation Railroad as #58, then the Mt. Hood Railroad as #1, where it was used for hauling lumber, and finally to the OP&E as #5.
In 1926, the locomotive was featured in the silent comedy film "The General" starring Buster Keaton, playing the role of The Texas. It was originally scheduled to be used for the infamous bridge collapse stunt in the film, but was found to be in better condition then the locomotive it was due to substitute for, and so the two engines were switched around.
It was retired and scrapped shortly after filming was completed.
