Springtime Steam! SP 2472 puts on a show in scenic Niles Canyon in the San Francisco Bay Area. Follow the train from the ground as it heads east from Niles to Sunol. Afterward, take a ride on board the train, once again traveling between Niles and Sunol. About the train: Southern Pacific 2472 was built in 1921 by the Baldwin Locomotive Works. It spent much of its time on the railroad in the Bay area, finally ending its career on the 1950's pulling commuter trains from San Francisco to San Jose. It was restored to operation in 1991 and is currently owned and operated by the Golden Gate Railroad Museum. The Pacific Locomotive Association has granted the group permission to run a few special excursions each year over their Niles Canyon Railway

I pass by those mtns. on my way to Santa Rosa a couple times a year but never guessed that gem of a railroad was there including it's Transcontinental Railroad history I read about on Wikipedia. Thanks for the nice video.

4: 10 wow, that was a lot of wheel slip there.
I can personally say that this engine has one of my favorite whistles. I like those low pitch 5-6 chime passenger whistles.
