Image title | The Central Pacific Railroad's "Gov. Stanford" locomotive No. 1 is one of the most popular attraction at the California State Museum in the "Old Sacramento" section of California's capital city.
The Gov. Stanford was built in 1862 in Philadelphia, then shipped disassembled in crates around Cape Horn from Boston to San Francisco aboard the sailing vessel "Herald of the Morning." It arrived in Sacramento on October 6, 1863 and was unloaded the next day and reassembled at "K" and Front Streets. It began its long career in Sacramento on November 6, 1863 when the boiler was successfully fired. The Gov. Stanford had the distinction of pulling the Central Pacific's first excursion train, first revenue freight train (March 25, 1864), and first scheduled passenger train (April 15, 1864). The locomotive also hauled materials for the construction of the Central Pacific over the Sierra Nevada. It was later downgraded from mainline service. From 1873 until its retirement in 1895, the locomotive served as a switcher and fire engine (outfitted with a water pump and hose to extinguish small fires along the track) in the Sacramento area. |
