The article discusses the history of the Eel River & Eureka Railroad (E.R.&E.) of California locomotive named the "Eureka." According to the article, it was built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works in 1884 and was identical to a locomotive named the "Iaqua," also built in 1884. The article states that the E.R.&E. was purchased by the San Francisco & Northwestern Railway on May 14, 1903, and that the new company acquired additional railroads in Humboldt County, California. The article also examines the consolidation of the Santa Fe and the Southern Pacific railroads and the subsequent renumbering of several locomotives, including the "Eureka."
