The loco engineer was a Mr Buckley, father of Tom Buckley will known as Public Relations for SP in LA, then later for Santa Fe and Union Station. Until Union Station opened, all SP and UP trains operated down Alameda Street from Central Station. All kinds of power would be seen, including the Coast Daylight 4400's.

If it is not him, the guy is a dead ringer for Bob Hope's sidekick.
