This one is soon to be bought by Niles Canyon Railway for restoration. They plan to restore it to operating condition once they have it.

Sorry for the late response but that would be hella sweet!!!!!!!!!!!!!

must go and see it if it happens.

I hope so :-) Right now, Niles Canyon is trying to save up the money to do it. Amazingly enough, it would only cost them $10,000 for both the engine and moving it.

I know man! The very first time I saw it leaving Railfair train show in November 2009, I knew she had to run again. I can't wait to see her run again, and she'd fit right in at Niles. I mean, she IS a SP locomotive, and that's what Niles needs right now for themselves. SP 2472 isn't owned by them and is very lonely being the only SP steamer in the canyon.

really how did u find that out i volunteer there i heard that but im pretty sure that wont be for a while but we do intend to do that

[adfgfds]

Turns out that Niles Canyon took a good look at the engine to see what kind of shape it was in. Unfortunately, its too far gone. PLA won't be getting it after all :(

[wippydobo321]

dude i wish it was running with its sister engine 2248 in grapevine. Grapevine almost got it if it werent for you guys wanting to keep it there.

[trainboy94]

If anything I'll restore it and donate it to the California State Railroad Museum, or have it in private ownership at my house and take to Grapevine to doublehead with Puffy.
