• Source: List of Northwestern Pacific Railroad locomotives

The Northwestern Pacific Railroad was formed by merging several smaller railroads and forest railways of northern California into a single line northward from San Francisco Bay through the California Coast Ranges to Humboldt Bay. These railroads were built to move lumber to the national rail network from northern California coastal forests. The merged railroad was initially jointly owned by the Southern Pacific Railroad and Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway using a wide variety of locomotives from previous owners. Freight trains were pulled by ten-wheelers while eight-wheelers pulled passenger trains. A few of the newer locomotives survived while trains were increasingly pulled by Southern Pacific locomotives after Southern Pacific assumed control of the railroad in 1929.
