Southern Pacific No. 4294 Cab-Forward Locomotive, Sacramento
Additional Details:
| Built in 1944, Southern Pacific No. 4294 is the only surviving cab-forward locomotive. Southern Pacific bought 256 of these enormous oil-burning locomotives for use in California and Nevada. Cab-forward locomotives kept engineers from asphyxiating on smokestack fumes in SP's numerous long mountain tunnels and snow sheds. |
