What RR used in Mitchem film?
Author: SD45X

Watched Young Billy Young yesterday. Cool opening with a 2-8-0 and small Vanderbilt tender. #5 only marks. Looked newer than old west power but they put a red smokestack on it of civil war vintage and I think it's a oil burner. Thought it may be SP.

Description of the locomotive sounds very much like the Magma Arizona #5.  IMDB shows filming location to the Old Tuscon, Arizona, which is not that far away...
