Columbia and Puget Sound RR 0-6-4T

According to The Fairlie Locomotive, this engine was originally built as Stockton & Ione #2, named the Amador and was built in 1875.  It was sold used to the Columbia & Puget Sound who renamed it the A.A. Denny.

From Chris

Just read a contemporary report of the A.A.Denny arriving on the C&PS as a "brand new engine" and if Crisolite is correct about the S&WW being formed in the LATE 1870s (and I have no reason to doubt him!), then the Columbia and Puget Sound RR would have taken over around the right time for the A.A.Denny to have come into being in the year 1880.  Her vlve gear seems to suggest an 1880 construction date.

The A.A.Denny was in fact, engine No.1 of the Columbia and Puget Sound RR, serving the coal mines of King County. She also carried a good amount of passenger traffic. She was built by Mason and weighed 75,000 pds. with 14x16" cylinders. Apparently, the C&PS RR was originally the Seattle and Walla Walla RR.
