After some 0-6-0 switchers which the Southern Pacific had received from several manufacturers, they built more in their own shops. Six of the class, designated S-12, were built between 1919 and 1921 in Los Angeles and 32 in Sacramento. At least some of the locomotives were oil-fired, as the images show. Their service ended between 1949 and 1952. So far there is only a short text for this vehicle. In the future it will be described in more detail.
