Southern Railway 1380 is a streamlined 4-6-2 steam locomotive built in 1923 by American Locomotive Company (ALCO) of Schenectady, New York, for the Southern Railway (SOU) as a member of the Ps-4 class, which was based on the United States Railroad Administration (USRA) Heavy Pacific design with some minor differences. Redesigned in a Streamline Moderne style design in 1941, No. 1380 haul the SOU's streamlined Tennessean passenger train between Washington, D.C., and Monroe, Virginia until it was retired and scrapped in 1953.
No. 1380 was one of the first batch of 12 Ps-4 locomotives, Nos. 1375-1386, built by American Locomotive Company (ALCO) of Schenectady, New York in 1923. [1] They were originally painted black with golden linings and lettering. [2] These Ps-4s were based on the United States Railroad Administration (USRA) Heavy Pacific design with the exception of smaller 73 in (1,854 mm) driving wheels, a slightly shorter boiler, an additional firebox combustion chamber, and a Worthington 3-B type feedwater heater. [3] These arrangements made the Ps-4s produce 47,535 lbf (211.45 kN) of tractive effort to pull 14 passenger cars at 80 mph (129 km/h) on the SOU's hilly terrain. [3]
The Ps-4s would serve as the primary express passenger locomotives on the SOU's Washington D.C. to Atlanta main line, pulling their top-priority passenger trains, including the Crescent Limited. [2] [4] In 1925, SOU president Fairfax Harrison had all of the Ps-4s, including No. 1380, repainted in a new Virginian green and gold paint scheme after his visit in the United Kingdom where he admired the country's London and North Eastern Railway's (LNER) apple-green Gresley A1-class locomotives. [5] [6] By the mid-late 1930s, the Ps-4s, including No. 1380, had their original Baker valve gear replaced with Walschaerts type. [7]
In 1941, the Ps-4s were relegated to haul local passenger trains and mail trains on the Washington D.C. to Atlanta main line as SOU's new EMD E6 diesel locomotives took over their duties on the Crescent.
