Southern Pacific No. 1294

Southern Pacific No. 1294 was a steam-powered S-14 Class 0-6-0 steam locomotive built for the Southern Pacific railroad.
== History ==
Built in April 1924 by Lima Locomotive Works it spent most of its career as a switcher to shunt cars in the railyard.
While #1285 and #1293 remain on display in Monterey and Tracy, respectively, #1294 — which had been displayed for many years at the San Francisco Zoo — fell victim to years of deterioration in the city’s foggy climate and was scrapped in 1987.
== Trivia ==
* This locomotive is one of ten S-14’s, numbered 1285 through 1294, built by Lima for the SP’s Pacific Lines; an additional twenty were built for the company’s Texas Lines (ten by Lima, and ten by SP’s Houston shops).
* This engine originally saved from the scrapper’s torch but later scrapped.
