SP T-31 Class 2-Pack

My best piece of artwork as of now. This is the Southern Pacific T-31 Class locomotive, a forgotten but preserved SP Ten-wheelers (2 is the T-31 class out of the 5 standard gauge SP Ten-wheelers that were preserved).

(Following information is from rgustrail website)
#2355 and #2533 is two of ten Ten Wheeler type (4-6-0) locomotives built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works in 1912 for the SP (#2353-#2362). Designed for lighter freight and passenger trains, they typically hauled commuter trains, their good traction allowing them to readily accelerate from the many stops.

#2353 is the first of ten T-31 Class Ten Wheeler type (4-6-0) locomotives (#2353-#2362) built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works in 1912 for the Southern Pacific.

#2353 started work on San Joaquin/Fresno-Los Angeles Express trains. It was leased in 1927 to
the San Diego & Arizona, which became the SP owned San Diego & Arizona Eastern in 1932. It hauled passenger trains on the San Diego-Campo-El Centro mainline, as well as racetrack specials from San Diego to Agua Caliente in Tijuana, Mexico.

After returning to the Southern Pacific in 1939, the locomotive moved to the San Francisco area to work in freight service. It then served as a switcher at the Bayshore Yards in Brisbane, CA, in the 1950s, as well as hauling San Mateo-Watsonville, CA, gravel trains and switching at a San Mateo lumber mill.

#2353’s last use in 1956 was as helper on Coyote Wells-Hipass westbound SD&AE freights.

#2353 retired in January 1957 and, the following month, was moved using compressed air into the California Mid-Winter Fairgrounds in Imperial, CA, where it remained on static display for the next twenty-nine years.

In 1984 the fair operator donated the locomotive to the museum. After a ten year restoration effort, #2353 steamed again on the old SD&A, running until 2000 when close examination revealed the cost of repairs required to keep it in operation was too prohibitive. It has been in storage in the display shed ever since.

#2355 is one of ten Ten Wheeler type (4-6-0) locomotives built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works in 1912 for the SP (#2353-#2362).

#2355 worked mainly in the SP’s western divisions. It hauled a Railroad Club of Southern California excursion from Anaheim, CA, down the SP’s Santa Anna Branch to Tustin and back on 2nd May 1954 and spent its last years on the SP’s Los Angeles Division on local switching and freight.

After forty-five years service, during which it clocked up several million miles, #2355 was
retired in 1957 and went into storage in SP’s Bayshore yard just south of the City of San Francisco waiting to be scrapped. Fortunately, it was spared the torch and given to the City of Mesa, AZ. A dedication ceremony was held at Pioneer Park on 12th April 1958, where it has sat ever since.
