Album Info:On 9/22/17 to 9/24/17, recently restored Southern Pacific 18 visited the last remnant of the Southern Pacific narrow gauge line between Keeler and Laws. Not only did she visit her old home rails, but she was also reunited with sister locomotive Southern Pacific 9 for the first time since the 1950's! This was also the first time that any Southern Pacific steam engine had run here since 1960! During the course of the day the 18 was coupled to her old caboose Southern Pacific 401 as well as well as Southern Pacific boxcar 17. Together, the three pieces of equipment made a nice looking train.
