Southern Pacific 2353

Southern Pacific 2353 is one of 10 heavy 4-6-0 "Ten-wheeler" steam locomotives built by Baldwin Locomotive Works (BLW) in August 1912, designated the T-31 class. It was delivered to the Southern Pacific Railroad (SP) in October and the boiler was changed in 1917. In 1927, 2353 was leased to the San Diego & Arizona line, and later returned to Southern Pacific in 1939, serving in the San Francisco Bay Area. No. 2353 was retired from service on 18 January 1957 and displayed for the next 29 years at the California Mid-Winter Fairgrounds in Imperial, California.

Film history
The 2353 was used for a brief action scene in the 2001 movie Pearl Harbor. The filming occurred on its last day of operation. The locomotive was also seen when the Irish girl group B*Witched filmed the music video of their hit single "Jesse Hold On" in 1999. And it can also be seen passing Barbara Stanwyck at the beginning of the film Clash By Night (1953). 2353 was also featured in a Levi's commercial. == References ==
