SP GS 4456 With Reefer Block

Bob Chaparro All Messages By This Member #11488 SP GS 4456 With Reefer Block A post by Taylor Rush on the Facebook From the Album group. Description: Southern Pacific GS-4 class "Northern/General Service/Golden State" number 4456. The streamlined 4-8-4 was built by the Lima Locomotive Works, construction number 7854, in March of 1942. Missing her side skirts and longer wearing her original "Daylight" colors, number 4456 was photographed moving a train of reefers through Martinez, California in October of 1956. Original photo taken by R. Buhr, or something like that. Bob Chaparro Moderator
Ken Adams All Messages By This Member #11490 Interesting that there is a mix of open and closed hatches. I would guess this WB move is empty reefers from Roseville for loading on the Coast Division from Santa Clara County south to Santa Margarita.? ? The lower line is the Mococo line to Tracy via Pittsburg and Antioch.? ? At this time it appears SP steam was concentrated on the mostly level Western Division Cal-Pacific line and level San Joaquin Division the running out the rest of useful lives.?
