YVRR Locomotive 21

1902 Frisco-built American Standard. #21 was delivered by her Frisco engineer, C. H. Grant, to the Yosemite Valley when they bought her secondhand, and was told to take her up the valley on her first train as she'd not yet been assigned a crew. C. H. Grant loved his engine and its new home so much, he decided to stay, and crewed the #21 until his retirement in 1926. #21 never happily found another engineer, and in 1928, the year of Grant's death, she was put in a siding at El Portal, never to move under her own steam again. In 1946 she was dragged down to Merced and scrapped.

Version: TS2009 and later

YVRR Locomotive 23

1907 ALCo. American Standard type. Was given front-mounted air compressors and unique spark arrestor by the YVRR, and pulled the line's passenger service almost exclusively in the later years. She also pulled the last train of lead into Merced.
