Built by Lima Locomotive Works at a cost of $207,210.00, this 4-8-4 general

service GS-6 type locomotive was used in both freight and passenger service.

Number 4460 was the first in a series of 10, which were assigned to haul the

line’s Cascade and Klamath passenger trains between Portland, or and

Oakland, CA. The heavy demand of World War II saw the engine operating

in freight as well. It has 73” drive wheels and weighs 867,500 lbs and was

capable of generating 5,500 horsepower It is semi-streamlined having a

‘skyline casing’ covering the domes on top of the boiler. This feature was

designed to lift smoke over the cab and out of the eyes of the engineer .

Number 4460 pulled the last steam powered train on the Southern Pacific in

1958. It was donated in 1959 by the Southern Pacific Railroad.
