| #21 is seen here in Stockton, CA, on its way to the scrap yard. While passing through Stockton the tender of the #21 was swapped with a that of Stockton Terminal & Eastern #3, which was undergoing an attempted restoration at the time. The #21's tender remained in Stockton, while the tender of the #3 continued on with the #21. From the collection of Dennis Sullivan. |

The Stockton Terminal & Eastern #3, still with the #21's tender, eventually became part of the collection of the California State Railroad Museum in Sacramento, CA. After many years of storage in Sacramento the museum conveyed the locomotive to Timber Hertiage Association, who moved it to their collection in Samoa, California. The following three photos are courtesy of Dennis Sullivan and show the tender while it was in Sacramento. |
