No. 94 in 1958 on the streets of Oakland California
collection Taylor Rush

The first 16 of these oil-fired ten-wheelers were delivered to the Western Pacific in 1908, followed by 20 more the following year. ALCO-Brooks asked for a price of between 13,247 and 14,585 dollars per locomotive. These locomotives opened passenger service through the Feather River Canyon in 1910. They were soon retrofitted with superheaters. Most were retired in the thirties or fourties. The 94 was in service until 1953, featured at the Western Pacific 50th anniversary celebrations, and pulled excursion trains from 1979 to 1986.
