Correct me if I am wrong but what I think Hot Water is saying is and I totally agree with is. There are many "Southern Pacific Lines" engines with white walls usually as Hot Water states - Builder Photos, Special events, etc. I have seen zero "Southern Pacific" engines with white walls Unless maybe some special deal - but I have not seen any in over 15 or so books I have looked through. I do have a picture of 4459 in a photo dated Oct 20,1946 right after SPL was dropped and you guessed it no white walls. Book - Photo album series 4 by Ainsworth. I know there was another I looked at but can't spend the time looking for at the moment. I would love to be proved wrong.
