Built by Baldwin in September 1901 (19533), rebuilt by the Southern Pacific Sacramento shops in July 1909 to simple, new Alco boiler in June 1913, superheated at Sparks, Nevada in May 1919, this Mogul type locomotive is hauling a long string of stone gondolas on this day. Note the electric steeple cab unit trailing behind it - mix of steam and electric to pull this loaded train! No date or location were listed on the back so both are estimates. Photograher unknown.

SP 4-8-8-2 #4220 |
| Description: |
One of the truly iconic steam locomotives ever built was this Baldwin cab forward. No other American railroad built this style so it is a unique arrangement soley a Southern Pacific icon. Out of the 256 cab forward units built, only one remains in the California State Museum in Sacramento. No date or location was listed for this photo so they are arbitrarily set. From the service pit to the side, it appears to be in a shops area, possibly Sacramento. No photographer listed either. |

SP 4-8-4 #4445 |
| Description: |
Here is an excellent example of a later Lima built locomotive from 1941. Traditionally called a "Northern" type loco, Southern Pacific preferred to call this type a "Golden State". This GS-4 class locomotive rode on 80" drivers and produced a whopping 300 psi boiler pressure. Elroy Giffin photo. |

This is another example of a Southern Pacific Sacramento shops locomotive, this time built in 1930. The loco rode on 63" drivers and delivered a respectable 210 psi boiler pressure. It's has the stereotypical white face and rounded tender of a Southern Pacific locomotive. No photographer listed. |

| Description: |
Here is another example of a 1942 Lima class GS-4 "Northern" type locomotive, although Southern Pacific preferred to call it a "Golden State" type. It rode on 80" drivers and produced a whopping 300 psi boiler pressure. From the label at the bottom of the photo, it appears this was taken during a fan trip in June of 1955. The lucky photographer to capture this moment was Elroy Giffin, a lucky man! |
