SP No. 18 was built for the Nevada California Oregon Railroad (NCO - Reno, Nevada to Lakeview Oregon) as No. 12 and worked on the NCO until 1926 when, along with engines Nos. 8 and 9, it was transferred to the Southern Pacific 'Mina Branch; the southern half of the Keeler, California to Mound House, Nevada line. It was renumbered as 18 and worked from Mina, Nevada to Keeler until February 16,1938 when it worked the last narrow gauge train south from Mina. From that point until retirement, in October 1954, No. 18 worked the remaining section of line from Laws to Keeler.
