The notes with the collection say: on Saturday, October 14, 1939, Southern Pacific (SP) 4314 was in Sacramento, CA. Photographer most likely Bill Darrough, from the Darrough Collection. Since negatives were extensively traded it's possible Bill was not the photographer. Photos from this collection have been shared with permission from Jack Darrough, obtained before he died.
SP 4314 was an ALCo 4-8-2, SP Class MT-1. Reportedly: SP MT-1 4-8-2 4314 was built by ALCo in 1924, builders number 65384. It was vacated and scrapped in 1953.
