SP C-18 2-8-0 3403 - a photo on Flickriver

SP C-18 2-8-0 3403

            Southern Pacific (SP) 2-8-0 3403, Class C-18, reportedly in Tucumcari, NM (but looks more like, El Paso, TX)  in July 1938.
According to a seemingly knowledgeable source on Train Orders (in October 2021), “It was built for the El Paso & Northeastern.  See Vernon Glover's book El Paso & Southwestern System published by the SPH&TS.  The 3403 was E.P. & N.E. 164 then E.P. &S.W. 164 and in 1913 it became 254.  The 3402 which is in the background was E.P. &N.E. 163.  By the time of the photo the locomotives of both the C-18 and C-19 classes were used on both branch service and switching service at several locations.  Tucumcari, Dawson and the Calumet Mine all had tracks with weight restrictions that limited the largest locomotives used to C-19 class locomotives.  The photo is El Paso.  Given the lack of train order boards I would say it was in switching service in El Paso.”  
Photographer most likely Bill Darrough, from a 616 format negative in the Jack Darrough Collection. Used with permission.
SP 3403, is a Baldwin built Class C-18 2-8-0. According to good sources, including Strapac (and Diebert's) fantastic SP Compendium series, 3403 was built by Baldwin in 1902, builders number 21068 as EP&SW 254. It was vacated and scrapped in 1946.
