SP 2718
Consolidation SP 2718 sits in Rachael Dorris Park in Alturas, California. She was retired in 1956 after being in service in Alturas since the SP converted the N-C-O to standard gauge in 1927. This 2-8-0 was built by Baldwin in 1904. Apparently offers were made to restore this engine to operation on tourist lines but the locals wanted it to stay in town.
