Southern Pacific #18 Under Steam

By: Andrew Brandon

On Saturday October 15th Southern Pacific #18 moved again on her own for the first time in 62 years. This comes after six years of hard work performed by the volunteers of the Carson & Colorado Railway.

The Carson & Colorado Railway group has posted a pair of video of the locomotive under steam on Instagram.

#18 now resides at the Eastern California Museum in Lone Pine where a display building will be constructed for the locomotive. On special occasions it will be operated on the site using 1200 feet of track that will be built in the future.
