400th video! Please excuse the sound error towards the end of the video. This is a brief video featuring Southern Pacific Steam Locomotive number 2472 pulling some Springtime Steam Specials on the Niles Canyon Railway near Fremont, California. 2472 is a P-8 class Pacific 4-6-2 type locomotive, built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works in January of 1921. It was delivered to the Southern Pacific Railroad in April of that year. Since that time, 2472 pulled fast passenger trains for the SP. After being retired in 1958, it was donated to the city of San Mateo where it was displayed in a park. In 1976, a group of enthusiasts got together to restore 2472. Since the early 1990's, the locomotive has been throughout much of California in excursion service. Since 2008, SP 2472 has been running at the Niles Canyon Railway on select weekends every year. For more info on the 2472, visit www. ggrm. org (Golden Gate Railway Museum. More videos of this engine may be released in the not too distant future. For now, enjoy these few clips of SP 2472 on Springtime Steam!

Maybe we need to get a bunch of railfans together that would like to see it run pool some money together for a group donation to the museum towards getting it restored. That's just a thought I had since all of the restoration projects they do are driven by donations of money, parts and volunteer time.

sweet looking pullman heavyweight on the end, really odd thought, how about Amtrak's C Z, or Coast starlight in full Daylight color.
also, the P-8 is looking clean as a whistle, Sweet.

Very nice locomotive! Now if and when the old 2-8-2 Mikado at the OERM is able to be restored. I feel that would be something worth seeing run. I look forward to and enjoy your videos.

Looks like you had visited Niles Canyon before. Apart from the Skookum that already past, the NCRy is already making efforts to restore SP 1744. Can't wait to see it when it's complete!

I seriously think 2472 should still be running as of now since it hasn't left the niles canyon at all and has been silent the past 4 years
