Denver and Rio Grande Western No. 315 is a Class C-18 2-8-0 Consolidation type narrow gauge steam railway locomotive that was originally built for the Florence and Cripple Creek Railroad by Baldwin Locomotive Works in 1895. On the F&CC it was number 3 named Elkton. After the demise of the F&CC in 1915 the locomotive sat unused until the Denver & Rio Grande purchased it and four of its sisters in 1917 to help with war traffic. In D&RG service it became No. 424 but was renumbered No.
