Western Pacific 334 was constructed by the American Locomotive Company (ALCO) at Schenectady, New York in May 1929. No. 334 was one of five locomotives of the Western Pacific class MK-60-71, numbered 332-336. The Western Pacific had used the class throughout the WP's system, operating the class from ] to ], primarily as freight locomotives, but they did haul passenger trains up the ] until the larger 4-8-2 "Mountain" locomotives took over the duties in 1936. No. 334 also had one of the largest tenders on the WP. WP 334's last revenue service run was in October 1952.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |last= |first= |title=Western Pacific 334 |url=https://www.wrm.org/visit/car-roster/locomotives/steam/item/124-western-pacific-334 |access-date=2024-08-18 |website=Western Railway Museum |language=en-gb}}</ref> |
