This Mogul engine, No. 1629, is a class M4 engine weighing 75 tons, with wheels 2-6-0.
It was built in 1900 in Schenectady, New York, and purchased by Southern Pacific Railroad for use on the line which ran from Yuma, Arizona to Portland, Oregon, passing through the Santa Clarita Valley.
In 1957 it was retired and sold to Western actor Gene Autry, who used it in films at his Melody Ranch on nearby Placerita Canyon Road. It appeared in such television series as "Gunsmoke" and "Wyatt Earp."
In 1981 Autry donated the locomotive to the Santa Clarita Valley Historical Society and it was moved to its present location next to the Saugus Station in 1982, where it is on static display.
