Southern Pacific SP-2472

I always wanted to see this, didn't you?

The clearance under the cowcatcher is ridiculously small! It hit the Flip Ultra HD on the first pass and knocked the batteries out. The 2nd pass is the one shown here. Hope you enjoy it!

 

Original footage shot at 720p, filmed at Niles Canyon Railway on 3-27-10. This is a beautifully restored Baldwin 4-6-2 engine formerly run by Southern Pacific in the San Francisco Bay Area. You can learn more about this engine at Golden Gate Railroad Museum (GGRM.org).
