| Southern Pacific 1487, a recently restored Fairbank-Morse H-12-44, leads the Niles Canyon Railway Labor Day Special toward the bridge at Farwell. Though she was operational before this run, the 1487 was kept from revenue service due to engine malfunctions duriing acceleration. Interesting fact...SP 1487 is not a true SP unit. The 1487 is ex-US Army #1857 like her sister, No. 1856, which also resides at the Niles Canyon Railway, but is still painted in US Army colors. |
