Instruction Manual GS-4 Daylight Live Steam Alcohol Fired Instruction Manual GS-4 Daylight Live Steam Alcohol Fired Southern Pacific GS-4 4-8-4 No. 4449 ACCUCRAFT COMPANY 33268 Central Avenue Union City, CA 94587 ACCUCRAFT Tel: 510 324-3399 T R A I N S Fax: 510 324-3366 email:[email protected] Copyright 2005 GS-4 Daylight Live Steam – Alcohol Fired GS-4 Daylight Live Steam – Alcohol Fired Prototype Information: NOTES: Californians who witnessed the early runs of the Southern Pacific red, orange and black consists declared them to be “the most beautiful trains in the world”. The striping on locomotive, tender, and the length of the train presented a bright, cheery image to a nation emerging from the Great Depression. In 1941, Lima built 28 GS4-class 4-8-4s, and were numbered from 4430 -- 4457. No. 4449 was the only Daylight painted GS-class preserved after lying stationary for years in a park in Portland, Oregon, she was resurrected in red, white and blue livery in 1975 to pull the American Freedom Train around the U.S.A to commemorate the Bicentennial of American Independence. Since then, the 4449 has been meticulously maintained. Today, the 4449 is occasionally run on special trips. 1 10 GS-4 Daylight Live Steam – Alcohol Fired GS-4 Daylight Live Steam – Alcohol Fired General information About 4.
