Summary

Description
English: This locomotive had a rich history of ownership before it came to be known as Yosemite Valley Railroad Number 26. It was originally Pennsylvania Railroad number 772, later becoming Bayfield and Western number 4, and then Northern Pacific number 4. In October 1905, the Yosemite Valley Railroad acquired the locomotive and designated it as number 11, before renumbering it to number 26 in 1906. It was eventually sold to Willette and Burr in June 1917. In 1937, it was stored in a shed near Niles, California and later scrapped in 1941. The locomotive featured a saturated boiler pressure of 140 PSI, a Wagon Top type, 51" drivers, a cylinder stroke of 19" x 24", and tractive efforts of 21,082 lbs.
