Florence & Cripple Creek No. 3, named Elkton, was a narrow-gauge 2-8-0 “Consolidation” locomotive built by Baldwin and delivered in July 1895. As part of the F&CC’s roster of Consolidations, Elkton and her sister engines were tasked with hauling ore, freight, and supplies along the rugged and steep grades of the Phantom Canyon route—one of the most challenging yet vital corridors in Colorado’s mining boom era.

After the Florence & Cripple Creek Railroad ceased operations in 1915, Elkton was purchased by the Denver & Rio Grande Railroad in 1917. It was renumbered to D&RG 425 and later became D&RGW 315 after the railroad's reorganization in 1924. The locomotive remained in service until its retirement in 1950.
