This gas-powered locomotive was operated as a tramway locomotive, hauling ore in the Trojan Mining District, west of Lead. The mines serviced by this locomotive were the Clinton, the Two Johns, and the Trojan. The ore from these mines was hauled to the Bald Mountain Mining Company's mills. This locomotive was in operation from 1918 until 1959 when the Bald Mountain Mine was closed.
Gas powered locomotives could only be used on the surface. Due the emissions of a gas engine, these styles of engines were not allowed underground.
This locomotive was constructed by the H.K. Porter Company of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
