Rahway Valley Railroad No. 15 is a steam locomotive on display at Steamtown National Historic Site. It was built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works as Oneida and Western Railroad No. 20 in 1916, and was sold to the Rahway Valley Railroad in 1937. It last ran in 1953 before being replaced by #17 a GE 70-ton switcher. No. 15 was donated to F. Nelson Blount in May 1959 (received on June 5).
Blount chose to restore the locomotive and operate it at Steamtown, USA. It also travelled to Boston to be filmed in The Cardinal. No. 15's last run was on August 12, 1973, when a boiler tube blew out, scalding the locomotive engineer. Today, the locomotive is displayed inoperable.
