Robert Dollar Co. #3, a 1927 Alco 2-6-2 tank engine, is actually pushing a set of excursion passenger cars westward from Sunol to Niles. This is at the west end of Brightside Yard where the crossing has two wigwags.

The lead "cab car" is the Yosemite Valley Observation car. This wouldn't be such a bad way to commute. ;)

  • We have 4 wood burners in our state, and one coal, :P

  • ThomasRivette

    who's messin' with the YV 330?!??!?!? that's one of my favorite cars as well, but seriously what do you mean specifically by messin' with the car? breakin' into it and stealin' stuff from inside?

  • @ThomasRivette lol! i would do the same

  • Anyone who messes with that Yosemite car I will flat out beat the living hell out of you.

  • I love that Yosemite car, I hope 2472 pulls that car in one of her trains.

  • I never knew that, thanks.

  • The #3 has a Western Pacific 5 chime. Many railroads copied the American Locomotive Company's standard 5 chime whistle, including the WP. This is just a shop made version.

  • What kind of whistle does #3 wear? Is it a Nathan?

  • she was but not anymore they converted her

  • Robert Dollar #3 is my favorite engine at Niles Canyon at the moment. I even favor her over the SP 2472 honestly.
