Hello

I own several pictures of #1818 loc when it was in Germany, France & Belgium.

When in EUROPE, it was numbered #1818 , its first registration.

Only when it comes in ALASKA, it was renumbered as #1718 because there was already a loc 18** serie on ARR, & also, its power was of 1700 HP.

I have upload today 3 pictures of it, in France!
