| Prototype Information — ULTIMATE IN PASSENGER POWER! |
Southern
Pacific GS-4 #4449 is still running today, and is believed
to be one of the most well known and most photographed locomotives
ever made.
The
GS-4 runs on four massive 80” drivers, 300lbs psi
boiler pressure, and puts out a roaring 5,500 horsepower
at 55mph, with a maximum speed of 110 mph. The large drivers
gave the locomotive a high top speed; the telling mark
of a steam engine built for passenger service. The GS-4
was built for the Southern Pacific Railroad by the Lima
Locomotive Works and delivered in the early 1940’s
for the SP’s premier passenger trains, finding its
way to the Daylight series of name trains. One of the
more unique specifications for the GS-4 by the SP was
its Mars light, a necessity with the large amount of grade
crossings and fog present on the West Coast. The Mars
light, like ditch lights on modern locomotives, was utilized
as a warning for grade crossings that a high speed train
was approaching, its shifting light patterns serving as
an eye catcher in foggy conditions.
