SP 2-10-2 #3767 - Southern Pacific
Description:
Nice looking example of a Baldwin Santa Fe type locomotive, SP #3767, built by Baldwin in March of 1924 just sitting quietly n the West Oakland yard. In most respects, this class' design repeated the F-5s, but their fireboxes had 110 sq ft (10.2 sq m) more heating surface area thanks to the inclusion of 116 sq ft in three Nicholson thermic syphons. Their addition increased adhesion weight by less than 1,000 lb. Most of the F-5s were leased to the Texas & New Orleans lines, where they worked until retirement in 1949-1956. This loco was "vacated" in January of 1953 and scrapped later in March of 1953. Specifics - F-5 class thermic syphon, 63" drivers, 200 psi boiler pressure, 29.5x32" cylinders, engine weight of 409,900 lb, tractive effort of 75,145 lb. No photographer listed.

Title:
SP 4-8-4 #4437 - Southern Pacific
Description:
Even in this poor quality photo and under streamlined sheeting, the distinctive Lima look is evident. Specifics (with the help of Raymond Jones in correcting some misinformation-see comment below) - Lima built in 1937, GS-3 class, 80" drivers, oil-fired, impressive 280 psi boiler pressure, 26x32" cylinders, 460,000 lb engine weight, 64,365 lb tractive effort. Originally the "GS" in its class name stood for "Golden State" but when the WWII War Production Board refused SP more Golden State passenger locos, SP changed the "GS" to mean "General Service", thereby getting 10 more locos. The entire GS-3 class was retired between 1954-58. Albert A Schrum photo. No location or date was listed for this photo but with Ricardo Montijo's help (see comment below), the location has been identiied as San Francisco. Thanks for the help, Ricardo!
