	Around 1906 the locomotive was sold to a contractor building the [[Butt Lake dam]] near Chester, California. To reach the construction site the locomotive was hauled into a steep canyon. When the dam was completed, removing the locomotive was not cost effective and the company left it in place as the reservoir filled and forgotten. In the 1990s the reservoir was drained and the "Eureka" was rediscovered still sitting on track where it was left nearly 100 years prior. It was retrieved and cleaned for preservation.
