San Diego & Arizona No. 104

San Diego & Arizona No. 104 is a 2-8-0 " Consolidation" Class C-8 type steam locomotive that sits on display at the Pacific Southwest Railway Museum.
== History ==
Built for the Southern Pacific by the Baldwin Locomotive Works in 1904, and was numbered #2720, this Consolidation type locomotive was bought by the San Diego & Arizona in 1921 and was renumbered #104.
It was used on freight duties as well as passenger runs, when it works on the San Diego & Arizona railroad.
The locomotive worked across the SP system until 1948, when it returned to the SD&AE and was renumbered #104. Leased back to the SP in 1950, it worked as #104 at the SP's Bayshore yards in Brisbane, CA, until retired in 1954.
In 1955, the SP donated #104 along with ex-SD&AE Carriso Gorge Business Car #050 to the Southern California Exposition/San Diego County Fair in Del Mar, CA, where it went on display for the next twenty-seven years.
In 1982, the fair operator donated it to the Pacific Southwest Railway Museum, and it arrived in Campo in August 1983 where it sits on static display today.
