Geneva Steel's (USS) last pure Baldwin locomotive (USS/Geneva No. 33). The photo was taken after it was sold to Wilson Railroad Systems. It is sitting at their Spanish Fork, Utah plant. By 1992 the plant was shut down and the Locomotive went to Durbano Metals in Ogden, Utah where it sat for a few months. Durbano had it for sale at $13,000 but didn't find any takers. It was scrapped in late 1992.
