What does THAT have to do with whether a customer ordered roller bearings or not? The SP saw no need to spend the extra money for roller bearings on its steam locomotives, since the SP developed, and patented, the system of pressure feed oil to babbitted crown bearings. Their own designed system worked VERY well for their requirements. That said, the SP did have two locomotives delivered new with roller bearings on all axles, i.e. GS5 #4458 and #4459.
