Data from Baldwin Locomotive Works Specification for Engines as digitized by the DeGolyer Library of Southern Methodist University, Volume 15, p. 40.See Locobase 16366 for a skeptical 1877 view of steam dummies and Locobase 11577 for a supporting 1889 discussion of the problems associated with running steam dummies on urban street railways. Works number was 9895 in March 1889.
This street railway opened in 1888 to provide "noiseless" transport from Berkeley Lake in the newly developing Berkeley Park residential area along a 3 1/4-mile right-of-way to Gallup Ave in downtown Denver. By the time this steam dummy was delivered, traffic had grown to 3,000 passengers.
