SP VISION GS-3 #4428 GOLDEN STATE

 

One of the last great streamliners, the Golden State came about in 1947 as the Rock Island and Southern Pacific competed against faster schedules offered by theUnion Pacific and Santa Fe for Chicago to Los Angeles. The two railroads swapped locomotives at Tucumcari but the cars traveled through. Although it was a shared train, there was little in common between the equipment used by the two railroads. Even the lettering font was different, but it did not take long before the equipment was mixed together. It was not rare for either road to substitute other cars from their fleets as needed, leading to very eclectic consists. A wild mix of car types, locomotives and paint schemes make this train an interesting subject to model. Our fantasy GS-3 locomotive offers a great "what if" steam version that seems fitting for the early hopes of this new venture.
