Southern Pacific (SP) AC-8 4197 in helper service. Notice the WW2 era light deflectors. No notes on this one. Location not currently known, perhaps Santa Margarita? This is WW2 era, sometime in 1942. Photographer most likely Bill Darrough, from the Jack Darrough Collection. Since Bill Darrough died of cancer in 1942 this may be among his last train photos. Used with permission.
Reportedly: SP 4197 was built in 1939 by Baldwin as a model AC-8, builders number 62285.
The disposition of this locomotive is, vacated in 1954 and scrapped in 1955.
