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 SD9 (SD9E) 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 a Baldwin Locomotive Works built SP Class P-8, 4-6-2. Reportedly it was built in 1921, builders number 54477. It was vacated in 1957 and donated to San Mateo County in 1959. In 1976 a group of volunteers started restoring the locomotive. This group became the GGRM, the current owner-operator of SP 2472.
