Some History:

4124 was built by the Baldwin Locomotive woks in September 1929 as builder's number 60956 and entered service 22 October 1929 as the fifteenth of an order for sixteen. It is not listed as having received the larger cab windows as used on AC-8 locomotives fitted to nine of this order. It was removed from service on 7 May 1953 and scrapped at Sacramento on 23 May 1953.

That's pretty basic, I guess!

Howdy all, I posted this in the MR forum but I thought I would try my luck over here too. I am looking for any pis of the AC-5 #4124. I have done quite a feew searches online but come up empty. Ironically, I find alot of info on the model, just not the real thing. I spent most of this week Googlin and Yahoo'n trying to find some and no luck. She is quite shy in history I am afraid.

I dont think I am that lucky that someone on her ewould have pictures, but maybe some links to out of the way websites with Cab Forward pics or something. Anything would be great. Or, extra bonus would be a place where I could read some histroy on the 4124.

And for those that are curious, why THIS engine... well I happen to have it in a Broadway Limited model and after year and half of admireing the little one, I just cant but help wonder about the big one.[:)]

Best Regards, Big John
