Southern Pacific GS 4 Daylight pulling a freight train.



I photographed this digital live sound video recently, at the Oak Park Society of Model Engineers,H.O Scale Model Railroad Club.

A Broadway Limited Imports model of a Southern Pacific GS 4 Class 4-8-4 semi streamlined "Daylight" steam locomotive owned by fellow club member Martin, is viewed pulling a freight train on the club layout.

Although the prototype SP GS 4 Daylight engines were originally used primarilly on the SP Daylight passenger trains, these locomotives were considered dual service machines, and could sometimes be found heading up freight trains as well during the late steam era.

Thanks.
