Central Pacific 173 : ウィキペディア英語版
Central Pacific 173

The Central Pacific Railroad number 173 was a 4-4-0 steam locomotive that was an example of a modern steam locomotive of the time. It was the prototype used for the Central Pacific's Sacramento Shops when the railroad began constructing locomotives. The engine was successful, and more engines were subsequently built to 173's design.
== History ==
The locomotive was originally built in 1864 by Norris-Lancaster for the Western Pacific Railroad who had it designated "H"(the Western Pacific had its engines lettered rather than numbered), naming it the "Sonoma." The engine became Central Pacific's #173 after railroad acquired the Western Pacific in 1869. A train wreck involving CP 173 and 177 occurred at Alameda Junction on November 14, 1869, and both engines were brought to the railroad's extensive shops in Sacramento two years later. Here, master mechanic Andrew Jackson "A.J." Stevens was given the task of rebuilding the 173. Though extensive damage was sustained from the wreck, Stevens found many of the engine's parts to be reusable, and had decided to use the 173 as a test bed for the railroad's entry into the locomotive manufacturing business. The rebuild was extensive enough that the Central Pacific listed itself as the builder in subsequent records. The rebuilt 173, finished in November of 1872, was well received by the railroad, and soon the shops produced twelve engines based on its design. Three of these were sold to other roads, among which was Virginia and Truckee Railroad's "Dayton," which is the only preserved example of 173's design. As a side note, smaller engine 177 was even more extensively rebuilt in 1873, apparently with very little if any of the original engine reused, and was also listed as built by Central Pacific in the records. CP 173 was finally scrapped in 1909, while 177 was sold to an unknown buyer in 1886. (It appears that CP 177 did not become SP 72 as many modern rosters show. SP 72 was built in the CP Sacramento Shops, and was sold to SP in 1883, per the 1883 SPRR Annual Report - 3 years before CP 177 was sold.)
