Iron Ivan

Old No. 7, known as Iron Ivan, was the last steam locomotive to operate over the Amador Central Railroad between Ione and Martell. The twelve mile railroad lies entirely within Amador County and is one of the shortest railroads in this country. Iron Ivan is an example of one of the early steam locomotives produced by the Baldwin Locomotive Works. The engine was manufactured in January 1901, brought to the Amador Central Railroad from the McCloud River Railroad in 1937, and made its last trip between Ione and Martell in 1956.
