Introduced in 1937, the Southern Pacific?s Daylight trains became some of
the most heavily traveled routes in the country. Cars and locomotives
received a brilliant livery of orange, red and silver. Streamlined, state of
the art 4-8-4 locomotives dubbed the GS -2 class became the very first
preferred power for these prestigious runs.
A near copy of the GS -2 was produced again in 1943 for both the Southern
Pacific and Western Pacific. These 4-8-4s were unstreamlined due to wartime
material shortages. Whether classed GS-6 on the SP or GS-64 on the WP, the
locomotives performed admirably in freight and passenger service.
