The Southern Pacific Streamlined Daylight Steam Locomotives - A History and Technical Specifications
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 5 ก.ย. 2024
- This short vintage rail film discusses the technical specifications and history of the Southern Pacific 4-8-4 Northern-type Daylight steam locomotives (GS2, GS3, GS4, and GS5). SP 4449 is the only remaining preserved GS4 locomotive. SP 4460, also featured in this film, is the only preserved GS6.
Shots include the Coast Daylight, San Joaquin Daylight, Lark, Overland Route, City of San Francisco, San Francisco local commuters, and the final steam-powered trip on the Southern Pacific Railroad led by 4460.
Southern Pacific GS-6 4460 still remains a survivor and on display at St. Louis, Missouri. Also known as "The Forgotten Daylight" because the 4449 gets most of the attention.
Fair enough.
4460 still looks great. Moved to an outer track, still under the shed; you can get nice photos of it. Medium sized dent on the front bumper, but the engine's lines are classic. Vestibule cab makes her a bit different than her GS2 sisters. Never skirted.
Very enjoyable to see the various groups of the SP rr GS class 4-8-4 engines, the SP "daylight" passenger trains were very attractive with their paint scheme and the steam locomotives had a unique & marvelous appearance.
At 1:33, the train departing Oakland is 2475. A sister to the 2472, now scrapped.
2475 pulled the last steam powered passenger train in the route that the southern Pacific 2472 pulled for most of its life
4449 and 4460 are the only 2 surviving members of the GS family of engines
Cotton Belt L-1s (819 being a survivor) are considered GS class locomotives.
@@mikehawk2003 Yes, but the 819 was built by Baldwin to far different specs. GS1 was also built by Baldwin, though she was very different than the GS7/8s.
I have a Kato N scale Southern Pacific 10 car Morning Daylight set & the Kato GS4 number 4449 in the Daylight colors which is my excursion train on my Pacific West Coast model railroad. I’m in the process of building my permanent layout.
Post your layout on YT. Would love to see it.
Between my old Bachman 4449 and BLI and MTH cars, I have a 20-car war-time Daylight (I also have the tavern and parlor car). I don't intend to actually run the train, but I do want to display it. At 20 cars, it is a little over 17' long.
Like this narrator-he also does a very good video-water level route-about the New York Central RR
This is the coolest steam locomotive the awesome 4_8_4 nothern southern Pacific Be 4449 is a very gorgeous steam engine my favorite
The Glory Days of Southern Pacific Steam 🚂
GS-6 4460 in action @5:18
I going to have to head over to St Louis and see 4460 and Big Boy 4006
I don't know how much I trust this guy's word, he just mixed up T&NO with Cotton Belt, and I'm seeing a lot of footage of Mt's where there's supposed to be GS's
I mean the Cotton belt sold one of his 4-8-4s to the Southern Pacific but
Texas & New Orleans????? Am getting confused
@@SuperFoxyRailwayProduction6702it was part of the SP
1:11 eather thats NYC coachs that was transferd to the SP line or relaeded coauchs from ome other rail road
Nope those are SP coaches. In the later days of passenger service they painted coaches light and dark grey when the steam engines went black instead of the daylight.
@@ironhorsemedia2881 oh ok thanks
Those are cascade cars…
might be Cascades or Lark
I believe this train to be the SF Overland. Assuming you're talking about the coaches towards the end of the train, they are likely NYC River series 10-6 sleepers in through service from OAK-NY. The letterboard reads "Pullman" in quite a distinctive font.
2:31, wait, I thought the largest streamlined steam locomotive was PRR t1 and s1
Well at the time it was, the T1 came much later around 1945 or so
The SP AC-9 is regarded the largest streamlined locomotive, since it had the Skyline Casing and streamlined pilot
Wow sp diferent this one
Where do I purchase "GS6: Daylight across the Sierra"?
what dvd or tape is this?
thats basically a 4449 without a mars light
Nope a different type of engine
@@azaabazha 4449 didn’t always have the Mars light
@@ironhorsemedia2881 All the GS-4's and both GS-5's were built with Mars Lights, so yes, 4449 has always had a Mars Light. They were never taken off.
@@ironhorsemedia2881 According to who?
The mars light design _changed_ later in their careers from single bulb to dual, but the GS-4s were all built with mars lights, and not a single one ever had it removed.
“T&NO, or Cotton Belt.”
*Huh?*
Don’t.. Don’t you mean the /St. Louis Southwestern/?
Cotten Belt is the Saint Louis South Western.
Ikr??? Somebody goofed while writing the script! T&NO is not the same thing as the Cotton Belt/SSW! Lol
@@jedinoob124 I guess they just found some fake information
SP owned both T&NO and SSW. There were 4 T&NO GS1's that were lettered southern pacific. The cotton belt engines were GS7's and 8's
wait old on i thoght SP neaver had coal to there team locmotives why do i see coal hatches on there tenders unless i was told a lie
SP had coal burners . The AC9 locomotives were originally coal burners but were converted when the were moved to california.
@@dogfather69whirlypearl51 Yeah, I figured this out not too long ago, My 3 year old comment is nothing but a silly billy, However I do Like the information you've provided.
