Built in Philadelphia in 1876 by the Baldwin Locomotive Works, "Jupiter" was the Santa Cruz Railroad's third locomotive. Made for narrow-gauge track, "Jupiter" became obsolete in 1883 when the line switched to standard gauge. The locomotive was sold to Guatemala, where it hauled bananas for more that 60 years. In 1976, it came to the Smithsonian as part of the United States bicentenial exhibition. |
