Southern Pacific Class T-1

The Southern Pacific Class T-1 is a class of 4-6-0 "Ten-Wheeler" steam locomotives built by the Cooke Locomotive & Machine Co. for the Southern Pacific Railroad.
==History==
In the days of steam, the Southern Pacific Railroad needed more motive power for heavy passenger usage on the Southern Pacific's system. The Cooke Locomotive & Machine Co. was tasked on building and refining a new locomotive from scratch and from the drawing board, for the Southern Pacific. Enter the Class T-1, these locomotives were designed to be used as heavy passenger locomotives on the Southern Pacific Railroad. About 38 of these engines were built and were numbered 2235 - 2273.
The entire class of 4-6-0s were retired, but two well known examples were preserved.
===No. 2248===
No. 2248 was spared from the scrap heap and had became part of a private collection. When Disney was looking for a locomotive to run at one of his parks, he went for 2248. However, that project never came to be and 2248 was later sold to the Texas State Railroad between Palestine and Rusk, TX in 1974 where it was restored to operating condition as their No. 200. The locomotive would operate tourist excursions at the Texas State Railroad from 1976 until it was taken out of service in 1981. No. 2248 was later sold to the Fort Worth & Western Railroad in 1990 for use on the Tarantula Express and operated there until being taken out of service again in 1999 due to major boiler work being required on the locomotive. 2248 was restored back to operation again in 2001 and later sold to the Grapevine Vintage Railroad in 2004 where it operated more excursions until being taken out of service once again in early 2016 due to boiler issues.
As of today, 2248 still resides at the Grapevine Vintage Railroad awaiting a boiler replacement and will eventually run again when its boiler replacement is complete. According to the railroad, it is currently estimated that 2248 will return to operation again sometime in 2023.
===No. 2252===
No. 2252 was saved from the scrapper's torch and was donated to the City of Roseville, CA, and placed on static display. It was moved around 2003 to its current location near the Roseville yard and is displayed outside along with a rotary snow plow.
