SN 403 Sacramento

SN Alco S2 403 keeps company with sister SN Alco S2 406 at the WP's Sacramento Jeffery Shops. Like the 301-A, the 403's days are numbered and is to be retired and scrapped in 1971.

 

I personally really liked the WP Alco S series switchers with their big Nathan M5 airhorns on the cab roof. It gave these engines character that most other railroads Alco S series lacked due to their puny airhorn selection.
