Nostalgia & History > Historical Operation Of SP 9010, San Jose, Calif. 1967

I've posted this before but with all the excitement surrounding the first unassisted operation of the only
KM 9010's operation on the Niles Canyon Railway last Monday, I thought seeing the locomotive in action
would be of interest. 
Late Tom Hallendorf's 8mm to DVD from January 1967 at San Jose at the Lenzen round house.
Ironically, the Pacific Locomotive Association not only has the 9010, but also, the turntable on which
9010 is on. The Lenzen turntable is one of the first historical pieces from Santa Clara County that
will be in PLA's future museum proposed for the Niles wye.
There are some other interesting thing in the short video segment. The visual quality has suffered 
over the years

Curious if a KM ever operated in MU consist with a Train Master ?

The FM H-24-66's were commute locomotives so would not be in regular freight service.
I understand they didn't MU with too many other types of units.
When in weekend freight service they would be one or two of them but no other
units.

Cool!
(Although that soundtrack might be setting the bar a little too high to live up to, action-wise)

I failed to notice the damsel in distress tied to the tracks anywhere. She must have been there, somewhere.

I love Dvorak, but it is admittedly a little ironic to use his symphony "From the New World" for a locomotive from the old world!

I think he was visiting/living in America when he wrote this music so fits well with the loco arriving like he did.
