Krauss Maffei ML 4000C'C'
 The Fifteen "Series" Units

This is a collection of historic photos of the 15 Southern Pacific Krauss Maffei 'Series' locomotives (also called 'hood units').  Some of these photos are from collections and others that we have received permission to post are marked with an (*) before the owner's name.  If anyone knows the owner or photographer of uncredited photos, please let us know and we will seek permission for use or pull the photo.

We are always looking for more photos to fill the historical collection.  If you have any, even if you feel that they are not of publication quality, we'd love to see them.
