[GS-4]
--28 GS-4s were produced between 1941 and 1942 during World War II.
――GS has two meanings, `Golden State` (nickname of Golden State California) and` General Service` (general service).
--There are locomotives from GS-1 to GS-6, and GS-4 is the 4th generation locomotive.
――The GS-4 played an active role by towing named trains such as the West Coast daytime limited express train [Morning Daylight], which the Southern Pacific Railway is proud of [the most beautiful train in the world].
――The maximum speed was 177km / h, but the maximum speed was limited to 121km / h, and the 18-car train Daylight was running at an average speed of 113km / h.
--During the war and in the post-war years, some locomotives on the GS-4 were painted black, but in 1948 they were all repainted with daylight paint.
――In the latter years, most of the locomotives were painted black again and were active in towing freight trains, but all locomotives retired after the operation in 1958.
--The GS-4 # 44 49, which will be released by KATO, is the only existing GS-4 locomotive that was restored in 1975.
