Start a little railfan’s story with a Southern Pacific Railroad toddler tee inspired by the western network known as SP and Espee. Founded in San Francisco in 1865, Southern Pacific grew into a defining name across California, Texas, Oregon, Utah, and beyond. The railroad’s Daylight trains, cab-forward locomotives, and bold western identity make this an easy everyday pick for families who appreciate railroad history and share it with the next generation.

Southern Pacific, commonly known by its reporting mark SP and the nickname Espee, was a Class I railroad network serving much of the western United States from 1865 to 1996. The original company was founded in San Francisco in 1865 to pursue a rail connection between San Francisco and San Diego. In September 1868 it was purchased by the Big Four: Charles Crocker, Leland Stanford, Mark Hopkins Jr., and C. P. Huntington, who had created the Central Pacific Railroad in 1861. Southern Pacific acquired Central Pacific routes through leasing in 1885. By 1900, its system stretched from New Orleans through Texas, El Paso, New Mexico, Tucson, Los Angeles, California, Nevada, Utah, Oregon, and Portland. Operations later used the names Southern Pacific Railroad, Southern Pacific Company, and Southern Pacific Transportation Company. The latter was established in 1969 and became the final SP incarnation. Rio Grande Industries took it over in 1988. Union Pacific Corporation acquired the system in 1996; in 1998, Southern Pacific Transportation Company was renamed Union Pacific Railroad.
