Thanks to the Scottsdale Railroad and Mechanical Society, the Magma Copper Co. steam locomotive was moved to the McCormick-Stillman Railroad Park in 1977. It cost about $7500, which was about the same price Magma paid the El Paso & South-Western Railroad (EP & SW) for the engine in 1922. This engine was constructed by Baldwin Locomotive Works (No. 31880) in October 1907 as the Arizona & New Mexico Railway #26. It was transferred to the El Paso & South-Western Railroad as their #130 when that railroad absorbed the A&NM. It was then sold to the Magma Arizona Railroad as their #6 on December 11, 1922. It hauled copper from the mine at Superior to the southern Pacific interchange at Magma for 38 years.
