That's because it's a Chicago & North Western locomotive on that leg of the journey into Chicago.
The Pennsy locomotive would have been used eastbound out of Chicago. See photo's at the top of this thread.
The Pennsy wouldn't dispatch a locomotive almost 3000 miles to San Francisco to pick up the train.
