Southern Pacific No. 4422 (Steam)

Southern Pacific No. 4422 is a class GS-3 4-8-4 "Northern" type steam locomotive that served the Southern Pacific Railroad.
==History==
Built in 1937 by the Lima Locomotive Works it was used to pull the Southern Pacific's "Coast Daylight" passenger trains, and prompted the Southern Pacific to initiate plans to introduce several new streamlined, lightweight trains: Noon Daylight, San Joaquin Daylight, and the Lark.
In 1957, it was retired, and scrapped afterwards. However, the one wheel from the #4422, the first axle, right side, was rescued just before scrapping. It was donated to the RailGiants Train Museum at the Los Angeles County Fairgrounds in Pomona, California where it is today placed on display. This is the only thing that remains of the locomotive itself. 
==Trivia==
*It was first received the orange and red "Daylight" paint scheme, then later it was painted black, and had its side skirting removed for easier maintenance.
*The Southern Pacific once had an EMD SD9 diesel locomotive which was also numbered #4422. It was originally built as #5402.
