Summary

Description Postcard photo of what was once the largest locomotive in the world, owned by Southern Pacific. The SP number can't be read but this is a Baldwin, as their round plate can be seen on the locomotive's left side. This looks to be the MC-1 before it was converted to cab forward in the early 1920s. This image matches this photo of SP #4000, but the postcard view doesn't include the tender with the number on it.
Date Not mailed and no other dating. SP received the locomotive in 1909 and by the early 1920s it had been altered to become a cab forward locomotive. Believe this is circa 1909-1910.
