Summary
Sacramento Valley Railroad 4-4-0 steam locomotive "Pioneer." Inscription on back reads "Negative made in early 70s by E. L. Johnson, a Sacramento photographer son of Joseph Johnson of Sacto [sic] Valley Ry. Property of Mrs. Scott [illegible] daughter of E. L. Johnson." The second No. 1 "Pioneer" was built by the Globe Locomotive Works in Boston, Massachusetts in 1849, apparently for a railroad in Virginia. Not delivered, it was instead shipped to San Francisco, arriving in 1851, named "Elephant" and placed in storage.
