Niles Canyon Railway, featuring SP 9010, 21 July 2019
The Pacific Locomotive Association has restored Kraus-Maffei diesel-hydraulic SP 9010 and dedicated the locomotive on 20 July 2019.
Family commitments kept me home on Saturday, but I went to Niles Canyon on the 21st to see what they were doing with 9010.
Due to a late start and traffic, I arrived as the second to the last train of the day was arriving back at Sunol. I got turned around and followed it back, getting a photo of the rear in about the same spot as I shot an April 1975 excursion that looped through Niles Canyon, Altamont and the Mococo Line. GP9 SP 5623 was pulling the regular Sunday train.
Steve Cope had been on that train and told me that SP 9010 had been on display at Niles, but was being put away at Brightside, so I drove to Brightside and photographed it arriving. When I photographed it as the camera car in Roseville in the 1970s, I never dreamed it would someday be turned back into a locomotive, although its engines were not running today and the SP SD9 was providing the power.
With 9010 put to bed, I made it back to Sunol in time to ride the 230 trip to Niles and back. The open cars were pretty full, so I opted to ride west in the SP articulated coach, which brought back memories of riding in these cars when they were in SP and Amtrak service. Even the smell of the Waukesha air conditioning engines triggered memories.
With people getting off the train at Niles, I found an outside seat for the ride back and got a few photos of equipment as we passed Brightside yard.
I took a few more photos after arrival back at Sunol, then headed home, catching a BART train in the freeway median at Pleasanton to finish the day. After some heavy traffic going west, the return drive was smooth.

YONGSAN GARRISON, Korea -- The U.S. Army Installation Management Command demonstrated its commitment to efficient operations and a leaner Army when it merged two region commands Sept. 30.
The operation, known as the Pacific-Korea Integration, successfully integrated IMCOM-Korea into IMCOM-Pacific, headquartered at Fort Shafter, Hawaii. IMCOM-Korea was headquartered in Seoul, South Korea, at U.S. Army Garrison Yongsan, where its deactivation ceremony was held.
Until the integration, Pacific Region under the leadership of Debra Zedalis, oversaw installation operations of six garrisons distributed across Hawaii, Alaska and Japan. After integrating the Korea Region, IMCOM-Pacific absorbed five more garrisons in Korea, including Red Cloud, Yongsan, Humphreys, Daegu and Camp Casey along with forward operating locations on the peninsula.
Brig. Gen. David Fox and Command Sgt. Major David Abbot formed IMCOM-Korea's final command team. Together, they oversaw support operations during several historic events, including the unprovoked sinking of the Cheonan naval vessel; the G20 gathering in Seoul; President Barack Obama's Veterans Day speech at USAG Garrison Yongsan; and the North Korean attack on Yeonpyeong Island, all of which occurred in 2010. IMCOM-Korea's history goes back to October 2002 when the Installation Management Agency was formed.
Fox led the IMCOM-K deactivation efforts, which included the sensitive mission to inform and assist in finding employment for more than 300 personnel who faced potential displacement.
"There is a whole staff of people, including leaders, dedicated to ensuring IMCOM-Korea's employees have the most agreeable employment possible after the integration," said Fox. "We have, and are continuing to develop a comprehensive [human resources] plan that goes far into ensuring each person's employment preference is met with reasonable success."
Fox also said his efforts focused on supporting Zedalis and IMCOM-Pacific to continue providing high quality service to organizations that depend on IMCOM in Korea and the Pacific.
"From the very beginning, Korea and Pacific Region have been in constant communication laying the groundwork for how to execute [the Pacific-Korea Integration]," he said. "IMCOM is committed to the same quality service whether that service originates from Korea or Hawaii."
Although the Korea Region makes up a small geographic area, the responsibility involved in operations here are large and disproportionate to its size.
"Korea is on the front line of U.S. interests in Asia," said Fox in his speech at the deactivation ceremony. "It's a region of growing importance. The real threat of conflict with North Korea is always present and our alliance with South Korea is critical to deterring that threat."
At the ceremony, Fox expressed his confidence that Zedalis and her team in the Pacific Region are ready and committed to the high standards needed to run installations in Korea.
The decision to integrate the two regions stemmed from an overall effort to make the Army more efficient and lean during the current hard economic realities.
"Tough choices have to be made," said Thomas Lamont, assistant secretary of the Army for manpower and reserve affairs, "but we'll make them in a thoughtful and deliberate manner that best supports the Army's mission."
Lt. Gen. Rick Lynch, commander of IMCOM, said repositioning several major commands "will save millions in personnel and facilities costs … and is needed to put the Army on the path to future sustainability."
Both Fox and Zedalis confirmed that the standards of IMCOM remain strong throughout the entire Pacific area. The mission to provide Soldiers, civilians and their families a quality of life commensurate with the quality of their service is a top priority.
