I have done a lot of research on the 4-6-0 locomotive.

And by some strange coincidence, it bears the number plate number from another Baldwin 4-6-0 locomotive that still exists ,and can be found, at the Nevada Northern Railroad Museum in Ely, Nevada. That locomotive is the #40, a Baldwin 4-6-0 locomotive that was built 1910. So, from what I can tell,the ET&WNC is quite the oddball!
