Denver and Rio Grande Western 223 is a 2-8-0 "Consolidation" type narrow-gauge steam locomotive built for the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad by the Grant Locomotive Works of Paterson, New Jersey^[5] in 1881–82. Number 223 was completed in December 1881, at a cost of $11,553.^[6] Rio Grande 223 is the only surviving narrow-gauge engine built by Grant Locomotive Works.^[7] D&RGW 223 and the other Class 60 engines were part of the Rio Grande's expansion into Colorado and Utah in the 1880s.
