There was quite an article about the 4014 when it was moved from the
museum in California.

Here's another large locomotive in Calif. <http://galleries.moosemystic.net/MooseFoto/index.php?gallery=IATMS&image=_MG_6861-62ia.jpg>

Cab forward, articulated, 4-8-8-2 design, in part so crew were not asphyxiated in the many long tunnels and snow sheds in the Sierra Nevada mtns. Just slightly smaller than the Big Boy above. The only survivor of SP's 256 cab forward locos.

Looking Ahead Moose
