Western Pacific #918-D |
Description: |
Niles Canyon Railroad Museum - serial #8973, built on January 27, 1950. #918 is one of 48 F7's ordered by WP (24 "A" units and 24 "B" units). #918-D met her end on the Western Pacific on March 30, 1981 while heading eastbound over Altmont pass. She was the trailing unit of the San Jose Turn and her main electrical cabinet caught on fire. Before much could be done, most of the wiring in the cabinet was in ruins. After being deemed "uneconomical to repair", she was unceremoniously parked next to the Stockton roundhouse to be used as a parts source for the 2 other F units still on the WP roster. A member of the Pacific Locomotive Association (Jim Evans) wrote the WP and asked for the donation of an F unit. We were offered this one as the other 2 (917 and 921) were still in service (the 913 having been donated to the CSRM in 1981). Never being afraid to accept a challenge or blissfully unaware of severity of her condition, the club decided to accept the 918 on December 1, 1981). |

Southern Pacific #1487 |
Description: |
Niles Canyon Railroad Museum - This locomotive was acquired in March, 1995 through the Department of General Services Surplus Property Program, which allows non-profit museums to obtain government surplus property. This engine was formerly U.S. Army #1856, based at Hawthorne, Nevada. Identical first generation locomotives of this type were purchased by the Southern Pacific, and were based almost exclusively in the San Francisco Bay Area. In the early 1950's, H-12-44's worked side-by-side with #2472 and other SP steam. They lasted until the mid 1970's. The FM diesel has been painted to replicate SP locomotive #1487, black overall with orange tiger stripes. The distinctive ash can oscillating headlights and number boards that were common to SP locomotives have been added as well. |
