The locomotive is a Southern Pacific Cab Forward type of articulated and was a real prototype.
The Southern Pacific Lines lettering would be correct for that Cab Forward until 1946 when the Southern Pacific lettering was used after that time.

It's not Northern Pacific. It is a Southern Pacific class AC-8 'Cab Forward' engine.
