On July 4, 1902, the Eureka, Nevada, narrow-gauge Eureka and Palisade Railroad sponsored an Independence Day picnic excursion train. Passengers rode in boxcars hitched to locomotive No. 5, Palisade (4-40), a Baldwin steam engine built in 1876. The 86-mile short line operated between Eureka and the Union Pacific station in Palisade between 1875 and 1938.
