4449 is arguably one of the most easily recognizable locomotives in America due to her bright orange, and downright happy, livery. When she was retired from an impeccable service career, she was fortunate to be one of only two GS locomotives to be preserved. Today, she still remains a fan favorite among trainspotters all over the country.

"Southern Pacific 4449, also known as the Daylight, is the only surviving example of Southern Pacific Railroad's "GS-4" class of 4-8-4 "Northern" type steam locomotives and one of only two GS-class locomotives surviving, the other being "GS-6" 4460 at the National Museum of Transportation in St. Louis, Missouri. GS is an abbreviation of "General Service" or "Golden State," a nickname for California (where the locomotive was operated in regular service)."
