Built by Baldwin in 1921, it was used by the Southern Pacific Railroad to pull passenger trains until it was retired from service in 1956.

[2] These locomotives were initially used to serve the SP’s long-distance passenger trains, such as the Overland Route from Ogden, Utah, to Oakland and the Sunset Limited between Los Angeles and El Paso, Texas, until the SP’s larger 4-8-2 “Mountain” types replaced them.

[5] The latter idea came from District 3 City Councilman Howard Rilea, who was a retired railroad engineer who had ridden on No.

[4] In the early 1980s, a group called the “Friends of the 2467” (later merged into the Pacific Locomotive Association (PLA)) was formed with the goal of restoring No.

[6] In July 1990, the locomotive was removed from Harrison Railroad Park and moved to a nearby yard, where a restoration effort called Project 2467 commenced.

[7] The restoration process included replacing the flues and tubes, fabricating the boiler jacketing, repairing the firebox, and refurbishing the cab.

2467 was successfully test fired, and the following month, the locomotive was approved to legally operate by the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA).

[11] In August 2005, the US Navy ordered the GGRM to vacate all of their equipment from Hunters Point, since ownership of the site was being turned over to the city of San Francisco.
