Colorado’s Most Unique Locomotive! - Cripple Creek & Victor #1! - Colorado’s Finest

Cripple Creek & Victor #1 is a 2ft narrow gauge mallet steam locomotive built by Orenstein & Koppel in 1902 for Minera Mexicana De Penoles, and was used to haul lead and zinc from the mines at Avalos Zacetacus in Mexico, along with identical sister number 2 and what would later become fellow CC&V engine number 3. In 1964, number 1 was acquired by John Birmingham to run on the CC&V, which opened its doors for the first time in 1967, with number 1 leading the way. Numbers 2 and 3 arrived later in the 70’s to help run the line. For almost 60 years, Cripple Creek & Victor number 1 has been traveling up and down this quaint little line, giving rides to countless happy visitors of Cripple Creek, Colorado. In September of 2025, we took a ride aboard a train led by the number 1. Come along for the ride as she takes us on a journey through beautiful aspens and over a century of mining history.
