Southern Pacific No. 567 was a 0-6-0T tank engine that was built in 1903 by the Baldwin Locomotive Works for the Southern Pacific Railroad. It originally started out life as Southern Pacific No. 1108, a 0-6-0 steam locomotive with a tender, but in 1939 it was converted into a 0-6-0T and given "Daylight" style streamlining.

No. 567 served as a 'shop switcher' for the Southern Pacific at Taylor Yard in Los Angeles, CA, as one of many specialized steam switchers used for moving other locomotives around the engine roundhouse. They were usually comprised of old converted retired locomotives whose original usefulness had come to an end but were not quite ready for the cutters torch. No. 567's service eventually came to an end and it was scrapped at an unknown date.
