GGRM's SP 2472 in 2010

            On Sunday, March 28, 2010, Golden Gate Railroad Museum's (GGRM) Southern Pacific (SP) 4-6-2 Class P8 Pacific 2472 is being towed backwards by Pacific Locomotive Association's SP SD-9 5472 which is on the west end of the train. The location is called Estates Crossing which is just west of Niles Canyon Railway's Brightside Yard. Though it looks like the 2472 is a manned rear end DPU, it is not!
SP 2472 is an SP Class P-8, 4-6-2. According to good sources, including Strapac's fantastic SP Compendium series, Southern Pacific 2472 is a 4-6-2 Pacific type steam locomotive, SP Class P8, built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works, builders number 54477, for Southern Pacific Railroad (SP) in January 1921. It was vacated in Feb. 1957 and donated to San Mateo County in April 1959. In 1976 a group of volunteers started restoring the locomotive. This group became the Golden Gate Railroad Museum, the current owner-operator of SP 2472.
