Lake Superior and Ishpeming 18 is a steam locomotive of the 2-8-0 Consolidation type, built by the American Locomotive Company at its Pittsburg Works in January 1910 for the Lake Superior and Ishpeming Railroad in Upper Michigan. It was delivered as number 11 in the C-5 class, was renumbered 18 in 1924 after the railroad merged with the Munising, Marquette and Southeastern, and was rebuilt in 1930 into the improved SC-4 class, which cured the poor steaming of the original design. It served until the railroad ended steam operations in 1962. Later owners included a Michigan tourist railroad, the Lake States Steam Association, the Grand Canyon Railway, which ran it until 2002, and the San Luis and Rio Grande Railroad, before the Maguire Foundation bought it in 2021.
