I went to Silverton to see the trains today:
Southern Pacific #18 was doubleheading with D&S #493





107 had arrived earlier:

Here is a nice going away shot of 18:

I also got lots of footage that I uploaded to my Youtube Channel:

Great shots! I take it #18 is newer to the RR at least since I was there. I don't think I saw it. I'm guessing an oil burner added after the fire a few years ago now. It looks really small compared to their other locos

It's from California and visited the D&S in 2018 to train the crew on how to operate an oil burner. It came back for the 2021 season to be a helper engine here for the summer then It will go back home again
