Sp 4449's SP&S Hancock 3 chime was set aside for SP&S 700 or NP z class Challenger Hancock 3 chime was fitted on the fireman's side this Whistle would remain on the locomotive for next 21 years
Sp 4449 round-trip south through klamath falls sacramento san Francisco, Fresno tehachapi loop to los Angeles over to yuma before turning east to new Orleans
In regular service, they were a pain to keep clean and constantly required repainting. Finally, SP just said "screw it" and painted the tires of the wheels solid black - a much easier solution.
@@gabrielarambula4465 I’d highly doubt it. Whitewall locomotive wheels are just for “show” and are not specifically meant for everyday service. In a matter of weeks the paint would start rubbing off and fading as the wheels are the most dirtiest part of a locomotive when it comes to day to day operations, since they always run over varying track conditions, the wheels can get dirt and grease caked up on them and that’s what eats away at white paint.
@@nikerailfanningttm9046 Can't say that I will argue with that. Just wishful thinking, since I personally enjoy seeing whitewall tires on the locomotive wheels.

Man I wish they still kept those white wall wheels
In regular service, they were a pain to keep clean and constantly required repainting. Finally, SP just said "screw it" and painted the tires of the wheels solid black - a much easier solution.
Who knows?
Maybe in the future they'll repaint 'em
