'''Denver and Rio Grande Western 223''' is a {{whyte|2-8-0}} "Consolidation" type [[narrow-gauge]] [[steam locomotive]] built for the [[Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad|Denver and Rio Grande Railroad]] by the [[Grant Locomotive Works]] of [[Paterson, New Jersey]]<ref name=njri/> in 1881–82. Number 223 was completed in December 1881, at a cost of $11,553.<ref name=day/> Rio Grande 223 is the only surviving narrow-gauge engine built by Grant Locomotive Works.<ref name="DayProspector">{{cite magazine |last=Day |first=Jerry |date=2005 |title=Rio Grande's Grant-Built C-16 Number 223 |url= |magazine=The Prospector Volume 4, Number 1 |location=Colorado Springs, Colorado |publisher=Rio Grande Modeling & Historical Society |access-date=}}</ref> D&RGW 223 and the other Class 60 engines were part of the Rio Grande's expansion into Colorado and Utah in the 1880s.

== Early history ==
In the 1880s, the Denver & Rio Grande rapidly expanded following the conclusion of the [[Railroad Wars|Royal Gorge War]], with major construction projects along the [[Alamosa-Durango Line|San Juan Extension]], the [[Chili Line]], and the affiliate [[Utah Division (D&RGW)|Denver & Rio Grande Western Railway]] building a line through the Utah Territory.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.drgw.net/info/SanJuanExtension |title=History of the San Juan Extension |last=Holmes |first=Nathan |date= |website=drgw.net |access-date=March 12, 2024}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.drgw.net/info/ChiliLine|title=D&RG / D&RGW Santa Fe Branch (Chili Line) History|last=Holmes |first=Nathan |date= |website=drgw.net  |access-date=March 12, 2024 |quote=}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.drgw.net/info/UtahDesert|title=

The first 2-8-0s delivered to the Denver & Rio Grande were built by Baldwin, becoming the D&RG's Class 60N locomotives.<ref name="RLHS About">{{cite web |url=https://gsrlhs.home.blog/about/ |title=About the D&RGW 223 |last=Bernhard |first=Joshua |date= 7 January 2019|website=gsrlhs.home.blog |publisher=Golden Spike Chapter Railway Locomotive & Historic Society |access-date=February 28, 2024}}</ref> In 1881, orders were placed between both Baldwin and Grant Locomotive Works for more 2-8-0 locomotives.<ref>{{cite book |last=Athearn |first=Robert |author-link= |date= |title=Rebel of the Rockies: A History of the Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad |url= |location=New Haven, Connecticut |publisher=Yale University Press |page= |isbn=}}</ref> Grant was only the second non-Baldwin locomotive builder the Rio Grande had purchased locomotives from, with a single imported [[Fairlie locomotive]] from the Vulcan Foundry Co. from [[England]] as the only non-Baldwin locomotive on the Rio Grande prior.

223 was delivered alongside 23 other Grant-built locomotives later that year to the Denver & Rio Grande.<ref name="RLHS About" /> 223 was delivered to the D&RG Burnham Shop in [[Denver, Colorado]].<ref name="RLHS Timeline">{{cite web |url=https://gsrlhs.home.blog/223-timeline/ |title=223 Timeline |last=Bernhard |first=Joshua |date= 10 January 2019|website=gsrlhs.home.blog |publisher= Golden Spike Chapter Railway Locomotive & Historic Society |access-date= February 28, 2024}}</ref> Grant built Class 60Ns were different than their Baldwin counterparts with shorter smokeboxes, unique frames, and Grant style castings. 223 was initially assigned to work out of [[Salida, Colorado]] and in those early years was recorded as having operated trains as far as [[Leadville, Colorado]]. The 223 and other Class 60Ns were premier power on the railroad, initially assigned to priority passenger and freight services.<ref name="day" />

When the Denver & Rio Grande split with the Denver & Rio Grande Western Railway, all of the Grant built locomotives including 223 were retained by the Colorado railroad.<ref name="RLHS About" /> The rapid [[Track gauge conversion|standard gauging]] of the former D&RGW.Ry mainline via successor Rio Grande Western in the following years cut off direct narrow gauge interchange from Colorado to Utah. Although the Utah State Historical Society suggests that the 223 worked in Utah, and the 223's National Register of Historic Places nomination included this, the Rio Grande Modeling and Historical Society's roster of locomotives does not show it in the Utah section on the Denver & Rio Grande Western Railway prior to the corporate split.<ref name="ushs" /><ref name="rgmhs" />

==Operational history==
On December 11, 1892, the Denver & Rio Grande's Salida shops and roundhouse caught fire. The fire started in the waste box in the cab of D&RG No.419 and spread to the oil-soaked floor. Due to the city's fireplugs being shut off because of cold weather, the shop burned to the ground, taking the 223 with it. The 223 was rebuilt soon after and placed back in service.<ref name="RLHS Timeline"/>

Only 13 years later, the 223 was involved in another roundhouse fire, this time in Gunnison on January 17, 1905. The 223 again burned along with sister Class 60N No. 218. Both locomotives were rebuilt, and the 223's tender tank was replaced in April of the same year.<ref name="RLHS Timeline"/>

The [[Rio Grande Southern Railroad]] was known to lease locomotives from the D&RG. In 1907 the 223 and other Class 60N's were sent to the RGS, being returned to the D&RG in 1922. On September 12 of that year the 223 collided with Class 60N no. 222 in Chama, New Mexico. No records of the damage to either locomotive were kept.<ref name="RLHS Timeline"/><ref name=day/> The merger of the [[Denver and Salt Lake Railroad]] with the Denver & Rio Grande in 1931 would lead to a new motive power classification scheme; and 223 along with other surviving Class 60Ns would become the C-16 class on the new Denver & Rio Grande Western.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.drgw.net/info/C-16 |title=D&RG Class 60/D&RGW C-16 Class Narrow Gauge Steam Locomotives |last=Holmes |first=Nathan |date= |website= drgw.net |access-date=February 28, 2024}}</ref> As they aged, the C-16s were gradually relegated to lower priority train services and branch line work, having been supplanted by more modern locomotives.<ref name=day/>

223's final operating location was along the Baldwin Branch.<ref name="rgmhs" /> The Baldwin Branch was originally built by the Denver, South Park & Pacific (Colorado Southern) and retained its original wooden bridges. Although earlier timetables show the branch being rated for heavier locomotives, the remaining C-16s became the preferred locomotives permitted on the branch due to their light weight, and the 223 served on this portion of the D&RGW from 1937 to her retirement.<ref>{{cite book |author=<!--Not stated--> |date=August 17, 1924 |title=D&RGW Gunnison Division Timetable No 103 |url=https://www.drgw.net/gallery/ETTGunnisonDiv103 |location=Denver, Colorado |publisher=Denver & Rio Grande Western Railroad |page=8 |isbn=}}</ref><ref name=day/>

Most of the C-16s were retired by the late 1920s-mid-1930s; only one stayed in service until the mid-1950s (#268 was retired in 1955). The 223 was removed from service in 1941.<ref name=nrhp>{{cite journal | last1 = Jones | first1 = Larry | last2 = Harris | first2 = Lois | title = National Register of Historic Places Nomination: Grant Steam Locomotive No. 223 | url = {{NRHP url|id=79002501}} | format = PDF | year = 1978 | publisher = National Park Service| journal = National Register of Historic Places Inventory}}{{cite journal | url = {{NRHP url|id=79002501|photos=y}} | format = PDF | title = Accompanying 6 photos, from 1979 | journal = National Register of Historic Places Inventory}}</ref>

==Display in Utah==
The railroad leased 223 to [[Salt Lake City]], beginning at the 1941 Pioneer Day celebration, for five years, and donated it to the city in 1952. The locomotive was given a fake diamond stack and an 1880s paint scheme in the Salida shops, before being sent to Salt Lake City. (A popular myth, caused by the mis-captioning of photographs, is that the 223 was moved on a special train led by four brand-new [[EMD FT|FT]] locomotives which was actually [[Rio Grande 268]], which stopped in Utah on a 75th Anniversary Rio Grande tour in 1945 ).<ref>{{cite web |title=Railroad Exhibits |url=https://www.gunnisonpioneermuseum.com/railroad-exhibits |website=The Gunnison Pioneer Museum |access-date=28 February 2024}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://collections.lib.utah.edu/ark:/87278/s63j3stc |title=Denver & Rio Grande Western Railroad Depot-Sugarhouse P.1 |author=Shipler Commercial Photographers |date=October 22, 1945 |website=collections.lib.utah.edu |publisher= Shipler Commercial Photographers |access-date=February 28, 2024}}</ref> In 1952, upon the donation to the city, the Rio Grande's Salt Lake City shops removed the diamond stack and box headlight and repainted the 223 in its 1930s "button herald" paint scheme on their own time.

Shipped along with 223 were a narrow gauge boxcar, caboose, and high-side gondola, which were sent to Pioneer Village in the [[Lagoon Amusement Park]] in [[Farmington, Utah]].<ref name=day/> These cars were later stored in Ogden in poor condition alongside 223 until they were burned in the 2006 Shupe-Williams Candy Factory Fire. 223 sat in the open at [[Liberty Park (Salt Lake City)|Liberty Park]], gradually deteriorating from weather and vandalism until 1979, when the city gave it to the Utah State Historical Society. The locomotive would be relocated to display at the [[Denver and Rio Grande Western Depot (Salt Lake City)|Rio Grande Depot]] in Salt Lake City.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.flickr.com/photos/alcomike/51967013171 |title=Denver & Rio Grande Western display narrow gauge class C-16-60 Consolidation 2-8-0 Grant steam locomotive 223, which required restoration at the time, was seen in the back or platform track side of the station building at Salt Lake City, Utah, Summer 1980 |last=Robbins |first=Mike |date=1980 |website=flickr.com |publisher=Flickr |access-date=February 28, 2024}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://archivesnews.utah.gov/2021/05/10/where-do-i-catch-the-train-to-las-vegas/ |title=Where Do I Catch the Train to Las Vegas? |last=Castro |first=Tony |date=May 10, 2021 |website=archivesnews.utah.gov |publisher=Utah Division of Archives Record Service |access-date=March 29, 2024}}</ref> John Bush, then an employee of the Roaring Camp & Big Trees Railroad in California, was commissioned to make a report on the cost of potential restoration.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://gsrlhs.home.blog/2020/10/23/drgw-223-preliminary-restoration-report/ |title=D&RGW 223 Preliminary Restoration Report |author=<!--Not stated--> |date=October 23, 2020 |website=gsrlhs.home.blog |publisher=Golden Spike Chapter Railway and Locomotive Historical Society |access-date=April 1, 2024}}</ref> Lack of budget limited success with the project and it was again transferred, to the Utah State Railroad Museum in 1992.<ref name=ushs/><ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PrAQjDzLlSg |title=Moving D&RGW 223, Part 2: The Engine |last=Witten|first=Lee |date=January 13, 2011 |website=youtube.com |publisher=Golden Spike Chapter Railway Locomotive & Historic Society |access-date=February 28, 2024}}</ref>

223 was stored behind the Shupe-Williams Candy Factory building just to the south of the Union Station, until the candy factory caught fire in 2006 and burned to the ground, taking with it three narrow gauge freight cars. However the cab had already been removed from the engine before the fire. 223 was then moved from there to its present location at the north end of the Utah State Railroad Museum complex next to the restoration shop. Limited restoration has been underway at its current location, [[Union Station (Ogden, Utah)|Union Station]], [[Ogden, Utah]], with the tender and cab in the Museum's shop and the remainder sitting outside without boiler lagging.<ref name=ous/>

It was rumored that during the 1979 move from Liberty Park to the Utah State Historical Society property, the frame and rods were bent badly so that the wheels would no longer turn, even with the rods disconnected. However, through analysis of historical photographs, it has been determined that the rods were in actuality bent during its display at Liberty Park to prevent it from rolling. The track on which the 223 was displayed sloped noticeably to the west, with no wheel stops or other end-of-track protection. A flat spot can be felt under the main rod 1 on the fireman's side of the engine where the jack was placed to bend it.<ref name=Smith/> The boiler is in very poor condition, having sat outside for fifty years with wet asbestos around it. The tender is being entirely replaced.<ref name=rgmhs/>

==Restoration==
Until 2020, restoration work was being done by the Golden Spike Chapter of the Railway & Locomotive Historical Society in the former Trainman's Building at the north end of the Ogden Union Station.

Restoration began in 1992 using a boxcar, UP 910261, as a shop. The group soon outgrew this rudimentary shelter and was given the Trainman's Building after the Candy Factory fire in 2006. Ogden City paid for roof repairs, an alarm system and fluorescent lighting, and the restoration work was moved inside. At the same time the 223 was moved from its place behind the Shupe-Williams Candy Factory to the north end of the platform outside of the shop.

Currently,{{as of?|date=June 2024}} the wooden cab is completed, the appliances are repaired, and work on the tender is near complete. The Golden Spike Chapter worked according to the "pay-as-you-go" philosophy, completing work as they obtained the funds, resulting in slow but steady restoration progress.<ref name=rlhs/>

It was added to the [[National Register of Historic Places]] as '''Grant Steam Locomotive No. 223''' in 1979.<ref name="nris" />

In 2019 the R&LHS crew was locked out of the shop by Ogden City and refused to allow continued work on the locomotive at Union Station.<ref name="2019LockOut">{{cite web |url=https://www.thespectrum.com/story/news/2019/12/20/historic-train-restoration-stalls-ogdens-union-station/2714703001/ |title=

An ownership issue between Salt Lake City and the State of Utah was resolved in April 2023, legally ensuring ownership of the locomotive was with the Utah State Historical Society.<ref>"Utah State Historical Society receives full ownership and control over D&RGW #223," Rail Preservation Network website, https://railpreservation.network/2023/04/14/utah-state-historical-society-receives-full-ownership-and-control-over-drgw-223/.
