Description
Pictured here, freight engine Number 654 was built by General Electric and issued in 1930 to run in Sacramento, along X Street. November 3, 1940, was the last day that Sacramento Northern carried passengers, as the company migrated exclusively to freight thereafter. The 62-ton 654 proved to be a great example of Sacramento Northern's most modern line of electric freight locomotives, operating on both 600 and 1,200 volts. Engines 650 through 654 were the last electric locomotives to operate on the Sacramento Northern line.
