Just when you think there are things you will never see run again, we get No. 18 in Colorado, the Big Boy on the UP, and the C&O 1309 coming in Cumberland.

Agreed. I never, EVER thought any of the above named engines would run.
These are great times we're living in.

In case you don't know.  SP #18 is an oil burner.  The Durango & Silverton is converting 2 locomotive to burn oil.  #18 is being used to train firemen to firing an oil burner.
