Is this a portland company locomotive?

I happened across a youtube video of a Virginia and Truckee "American" locomotive cosmetically restored with what looks like the Portland Company logo between its driving wheels. Is this a Portland Company loco? I thought there were two in existance, WW&F #9 and something in Canada
