Railroad Equipment

Southern Pacific steam locomotive #4449 is a GS-4 class locomotive, built by the Lima Locomotive Works in 1941 to pull Southern Pacific's Daylight passenger trains in California. It was replaced by diesels and retired on October 2, 1957. #4449 was donated to the City of Portland on April 24, 1958 and put on static display at Oaks Amusement Park. On December 14, 1974, #4449 was removed from Oaks Park and restored to pull the American Freedom Train. Since 1981, #4449 has operated in excursion service. It is painted in its original Daylight color scheme. When not in service, it is stored at the historic roundhouse at Union Pacific's Brooklyn Yard in Portland, Oregon and maintained by the Friends of SP 4449.

Southern Pacific streamlined Parlor/Lounge Observation Car #2955 was built by the Pullman-Standard Company in July 1941 for use on the Morning Daylight between Los Angeles & San Francisco, the same service #4449 was used in, and #4449 almost certainly pulled #2955 at some point in regular service. Later in its career #2955 was used on the Shasta Daylight between Oakland and Portland. It was converted to a 72-seat coach in 1960. The car was acquired by the Northwest Rail Museum of Portland in 1988 and restored to its original Daylight colors. It is named James J. Gilmore after a volunteer who worked on the car but passed away before having the opportunity to enjoy it in excursion service. It is the only former Southern Pacific round-end observation car in remaining in service.

Southern Pacific #5399 is a 1750hp SD9 built by the Electro-Motive Division of General Motors in February 1955. It was renumbered to #3877 in 1965, then rebuilt as SD9E #4364 in 1973. It went to the Willamette Valley Railway in 1992, keeping its SP number and weather-beaten gray & scarlet paint. It is now owned by George Lavacot's Lavacot Locomotive Works, who leases it to shortlines like the Central Oregon & Pacific, the Port of Tillamook Bay and the Portland & Western, who currently lease it. In late 2007 it was repainted to its original SP "Black Widow" paint scheme.
