I had to wait 45 minutes so the sun could pop up high enough so there wouldn't be any shadows on the loco.

There is also a sister unit #1802 somewhere in NC.

That unit is owned by the Red Springs & Northern. There is a private group that offers speeder rides on that line. There is also hope of bringing a private dinner train to the line. As far as I know there is no freight service on the line any longer. Red Springs & Northern was once owned by Laurinburg Southern before being sold off when the LS was purchased by Gulf & Ohio.
Sister unit is now owned by the North Carolina Transportation Museum at Spencer NC.

The 1860 is still operational and is regularly used to haul tourist trains on museum property. It also rides on roller bearing trucks.

Switcher...The YDC is located in southern Indiana, and back in the day, was owned by AMAX coal.
