Where are the locations of any 18" diameter electric locomotive headlights in the US today?

If there are any, what make is it (if known); Pyle-National, Sunbeam, or other?

I know about one 18" dia headlight, its on the D&RGW #346 at the CRRM (we have a future date with some; rules, calipers and a CAD program), but are there any others?

I believe that the headlight on Nevada Northern #40 is a Pyle national 18" headlight.
Can any of the good folk in Nevada confirm this?
