2472 at Niles Canyon May 24th 2008 (Part Three)

The train sits at Sonol for a couple hours while everybody has lunch. We take a couple good shots of SP 2472 along side SP GP9. Later, #2472 pulls forward to prepare for a couple Photo Runbys.

unfortuniately, i believe 2472 is now museum bound, though, according to rumor, her sister, 2479 a P-10 class Pacific, is undergoing restoration.

No, thats 2467 thats in a museum. 2472 is alive and well running at Niles Canyon. If fact, its planning to run this May. Go to the GGRM website and check to calender :-)

@adfgfds Ah, thank you! I apologize for being in error! I'd love to make it out there sometime to see her run! Any word on 2479?

@Kahless02

2479 is slowly coming back together. Her wheels are on her now. I'm not sure if the drivers are on yet or not. I'll have to stop by there sometime and see how its coming.

@adfgfds Thanks, My apologies for not gathering the proper information. :-D

Hope to see this in March, if I can get a ticket.

WHAT?! I didn't know this engine was around. Does it run on Niles Canyon often?
