El Paso & Southwestern Railroad No. 1
El Paso & Southwestern Railroad No. 1 is a 4-4-0 type steam locomotive, preserved in El Paso, Texas. The engine was built in 1857 by Breese, Kneeland, and Company of Jersey City, New Jersey, and is the only locomotive built by that firm still in existence.
==Working life==
It was a wood burner built for the Milwaukee & Mississippi Railroad Company in 1857 as their number 40 and named ''Spring Green''.〔Edson, (1977), ''Locomotives'', p. 67〕 The Milwaukee & Mississippi became the Milwaukee & Prairie du Chien Railway Company in 1861. The locomotive was renumbered 111 when the M&PdC was sold to the Milwaukee & St Paul Railroad in 1867; the railroad renaming itself The Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railroad in 1874.〔Edson, (1977), ''Predecessors'', p. 25〕
In 1889, the locomotive was sold to the Arizona and Southeastern Railroad Company, as their number 1, later becoming the El Paso and Southwestern Railroad. It is likely to have been converted to coal burning during this time, thus receiving its current appearance with a straight stack and extended smokebox. EP&SW No.1 was used to move mine and mill supplies and products when it arrived here in 1902. As El Paso became one of the great rail hubs of the west, timber was brought from Cloudcroft and coal from Dawson, New Mexico.
