South Pacific Coast 4-4-0 No. 9
The following are comments from Train Orders members. South Pacific Coast was a 3-foot gauge line that ran from the East Bay to Santa Cruz. Later standard-gauged and taken over by the Southern Pacific. SPC 9 was a 3-foot gauge engine, sitting on dual gauge track. By 1908 No. 9 had no home 3-foot gauge rails to run on, so it was sold to a new 3-foot gauge pike. The photo was recorded at SPC's shop at Newark, CA.
