SP's fleet included the beautiful, streamlined 4-8-4 Northerns, known as
Golden States by the SP, used to haul passengers in its
Daylight trains while skirting the southern California coastline. Today, happily, no less than 65 Espee steamers remain in some state of preservation (the most of any, one single railroad) with no less than nine still operational (including famed
Golden State #4449) and many more under restoration!
