Spring Steam Train Southern Pacific 2472

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. All aboard!
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.

There is something about 2472's 6 chime that makes me have goose bumps, When I hear it coming around that corner. It gets me every time, 2472 sounds like a thunder storm challenging through the night with her rods clanking to the chuffs. plus I miss when they used Steam and Diesel locomotives at the same time.

I cannot believe how little smoke this train has coming from its stack!

It’s the sign of a good fireman.

[@EngineerDaylight]

The less smoke, the cleaner it's running. Dark smoke is usually the sign of the engine not being fired correctly. The fireman can also throw sand in the firebox to clean the flues, that might also account for the smoke

SP 2472's whistle Sounds like Santa Fe 3751's Whistle.

[@trainknut]

Her whistle is an SP 6 chime, although it sounds like it's lost a bit of it's sound in recent years. ATSF 3751 has a Santa Fe 5 chime I believe, they have somewhat similar sounds in that they are both low and melodic, but if both locomotives had their original whistles as they existed in the steam era, you would definitely be able to hear a difference.

[@silverstatehighiron]

The Arctic Gamer ATSF 3751 has an ATSF 6 chime although it wore a much higher pitched ATSF passenger 5 chime in the early 1990's.

[@trainknut]

That's right, I believe the 5 chime was the original, but I'm not too sure.

[@catlover2368]

wish she could run excursions with the Southern Pacific 4449

[@user-tk1hg2tr7h]

Destinee Meyer ᆢㄴ2ㅡㄷㄸ

[@trainknut]

She used to, but now with all the restrictions UP has on "foreign" steam they're both kinda restricted to their home turf, luckily for 4449 she still has a good relationship with BNSF, but she doesn't get to really cut loose on the coast line like she used to. It's sad really, to see such magnificent locomotives in such pristine conditions, hauling around short consists at a jogging pace. Both of these locomotives were designed to pull dozens of cars at speeds comparable to some aircraft, and they're just sitting here with nothing to do but slowly be restricted to death. Ten years ago you could see 4449 speeding along BNSF mainlines with excursions, twenty years ago you could see her pounding down the coast line putting Amtrak to shame, and seventy years ago she would have been racing along the coast line from Portland to San Diego pulling 18 car trains every day, with her sixty GS-class sisters.
