Album Info:On March 16, 2009, I assisted a friend of mine who was filming a documentary on the 2472. I got to go along as his "assistant" and got the ride of my life! We did most of the filming and riding on the tender of the 2472! The 2472 was taken out for a steam test inspection. It was a strange consist with...the 2472, a caboose, and Western Pacific #713 GP9! The 713 pulled us out of Brightside Yard. We did the testing between the yard and Sunol. At lunch time...we just stopped the train in Sunol and the crew headed for their favorite restaurant!
