            Southern Pacific Taylor Roundhouse is seen with cab-forward 4-8+8-2 articulated cab-forward steam locomotives in Los Angeles, California, late 40's or early 50's.  These oil fired steam locomotives were most often used in freight service, however, they could be found at the head of a passenger train when conditions warranted their power.  From left to right the cab-forward steam locomotives are numbered # 4254 (class AC-11), # 4251 (class AC-11), # 4287 (class AC-12) & # 4236 (class AC-10).  You can observe workmen at various locations throughout the photo.  In the background you can see a Daylight (class GS-4) 4-8-4 steam locomotive # 4441.  Photo courstesy of an unknown source.

The name of the photographer that took this photo is unknown.
