(2/4) SP MT-4 Daylight 4-pack

I decided to make all of the SP MT-4s that had the Daylight paint scheme. Also this is part 2 of 4 of the MT-4 pack, 1st is the first MT-4 which included Freight 4349 and De-skirt Daylight 4352, 2nd is the pack here and the locomotives are included down below, and 3rd is the rest of the MT-4s. There were 21 MT-4s built, 6 down, 15 more to go. Also the 4th is just extra configuration like no skyline casing, no Daylight paint scheme, when they just came out of the shops, etc.

Successors of the "P" class Pacifics, the MT Class Mountains were originally intended for passenger service. To quote the S.P.'s publicity department, these locomotives were designed "To provide its passenger patrons with the fastest and most modern service available."

The general design and specifications for these remarkable Espee engines were worked up under the direction of the Espee's George McCormick and Frank E. Russell, Assistant Mechanical Engineer. Ten engines were contracted out to the American Locomotive Company (ALCO) early in 1923, to be delivered later that year. ( A staggering feat, by any mans standards! ) Final details were worked out at Schenectady between the ALCO's engineers and top men from the S.P.'s mechanical department.

In later years these locomotives could be found literally all over the system where fast motive power was required. Fast freights, Commuter Service, even Helper Service on notorious mountain passes such as Donner and Tehachapi.

5 out of the MT-4 were painted in the beautiful Daylight paint scheme and was put into service for the Southern Pacific passenger routes like San Joaquin Daylight. Unfortunately none of the 5 MT-4 Daylights, nor of the whole SP mountains survived through preservation.
