Santa Fe 4-8-4 Northern-type steam locomotive #3751 poses in front of the Grand Canyon Depot after arriving with the 'Grand Canyon Limited'. Built by Baldwin Locomotive works in 1927. With 80 inch drivers and a tractive effort of 71,719 lbs, she was the first locomotive to bring a passenger train into Los Angeles Union Station on May 7, 1939. On retirement, she lay on display in a park for 28 years before being restored & put back into excursion service by the San Bernardino Railroad Historical Society in 1991.
