Spent Labor Day Weekend out at the Niles Canyon Railway with Southern Pacific 2472, a Baldwin 4-6-2 "Pacific"-type steam locomotive and her diesel helpers SP 1487 (Fairbanks-Morse H-12-44) and SP 3194 (EMD GP9). Sadly, this event marks SP 2472's last public operation in Niles Canyon before the Golden Gate Railroad Museum moves all of it's equipment (which includes SP 1487 and SP 3194 as well) to Santa Cruz. I was also given a welcome surprise from Amtrak Coast Starlight #11, which had one of BNSF's brand new GE ET44C4 Tier 4 GEVOs (BNSF 3940) leading! Given the rarity of a BNSF freight locomotive being on UP's Martinez Subdivision, I chased the unit from Martinez to the street running section in Oakland Jack London Square and also caught a couple Capitol Corridor and San Joaquin trains during the chase, which is included in this video.
