[edit] Steam Locomotives
Most of these locomotives were purchased or leased from the SP&S's parent roads Great Northern Railway and Northern Pacific Railway. The 4-8-4 Northerns and 4-6-6-4 Challengers were purchased new. This roster groups steam locomotives by their wheel arrangement.
[edit] Class A 0-6-0
These locomotives were used primarily as yard switchers in terminals like Wishram, Washington or Vancouver, Washington.
- A-1 numbers 1–5.
- A-2 number 6.
- A-3 numbers 7 and 8.
[edit] Class L 4-4-0
[edit] Class D 4-6-0
- D-1 numbers 100–109 were built by Baldwin in 1910 for the Great Northern as their class E-14. They were quickly transferred to the SP&S where they served until six were rebuilt to Class H-1 in the 1927–1930 period, with the remaining four being scrapped in 1937.
[edit] Class M 2-6-0
[edit] Class N 2-8-0
[edit] Class F 2-6-2
- F-1 numbers 450–456
[edit] Class O 2-8-2
- O-1 numbers 500–513 (mostly ex-GN)
- O-2 number 525
- O-3 numbers 530–539 were a group of Mikados built at Dunkirk in 1913 and 1917 for the Northern Pacific as their class W-3. They were sold to SP&S between 1925 and 1944, and were retired in the 1953–1957 period.
- O-4 numbers 550 and 551 were a pair of Mikados built for the Great Northern by Baldwin. They were sold to the SP&S in April 1950, and scapped in April and May, 1953.
[edit] Class C 4-4-2
- C-1 numbers 600–609 were identical to Great Northern's K-1 class. They were built for the SP&S by Baldwin in 1909 and retired in the 1937–1949 period.
[edit] Class H 4-6-0
- H-1 numbers 620–626 were rebuilt from D-1 class locomotives 102–105, 107 and 109. They were retired in 1952 and 1953.
[edit] Class E 4-8-4
- E-1 numbers 700–702 were identical to Northern Pacific Railway's A-3 class 4-8-4 locomotives. There were built by Baldwin Locomotive Works in 1938 and retired in 1960. The 700 has been preserved.
[edit] Class Z 4-6-6-4
There were two groups of 4-6-6-4 locomotives, both were identical to the Northern Pacific Railway class of the same name, but were fuel by oil instead of coal.
- Z-6 numbers 900–905 built by Alco in 1937. Two engines (903 & 904) were sold to the Great Northern Railway in January 1940, as GN 4000 & 4001, for equalization of GN traffic over the Oregon Trunk. There were subsequently repurchased in March 1950 and July 1946 respectively.[1] All six were retired in 1960.
- Z-8 numbers 910–911 were built by Alco in 1944 and retired in 1960.
[edit] Diesel Locomotives
Most of these locomotives were purchased new by the SP&S. Some were, however, purchased second-hand from the parent roads. The SP&S gained some notoriety with railroad fans for its large proportion of diesels manufactured by Alco. For detailed info see John Gaertner's book or SP&S Historical Society
