Southern Pacific's engineers created an elegant locomotive when designing the GS-4. Not only was her appearance breathtaking, but mechanically she was stunning. These locomotives had 80-inch drivers, boiler pressure of 300 psi, and small cylinder diameter that provided additional speed and power from earlier designs. The GS-4's developed 5,500HP at 55mph and were cross and counterbalanced to reach maximum speeds of 110mph! Also, a 12-volt motor driven signal light reflector, or Mars light, was placed above the headlight. The beam projected forward in a figure eight to a distance of 1,400 to 3,000 feet and sideways to a distance of 750 feet. All this for the reasonable price of approximately $175,000.

4449 resides at Union Pacific's Brooklyn Roundhouse in Portland, Oregon.
