Utah Southern Railroad Extension
The five (5) engines generally considered to be Utah Southern Railroad Extension engines were received in 1879 and 1880; four 4-4-0 engines, formerly Union Pacific numbers 65, 123, 125 and 145, were bought around April-May 1879 at $6,000 each; and one Mogul engine, 2-6-0, formerly UPRR 12, bought in May 1880 for $7,500; in July of 1880, the U. P. refunded $3,750 to the Utah Southern "on 5 locomotives sold" to that company.
These five engines, USRRE 12, 65, 123, 125 and 145, appear to have been operated in Utah without being renumbered from UPRR numbers (prior to the Utah Central Railway renumbering).
