SP 5623 Works Freight Enroute To Railfair 1999 On Cal P.

SP GP9 5623 restored by Howard Wise and the late Errol Olman run east from Oakland to
Sacramento in 1999. 5623 still runs on the Niles Canyon Railway. Bahia, Pedrick Road, and Brodrick.
Freight cars were left at Fairfield.

That would have been Railfair ‘95, right after 5623 was redone in black widow. The 5623 also went to Railfair ‘99, but it was trailing SP 4-6-2 #2467.

Good stuff!

The third unit, 3873, is still operable in Campo, Ca at the Pacific Southwest Railway Museum. It is also in, not as delivered on SP,  Black Widow scheme. Looks good though...

Great video.  I have had the good fortune of riding in the cab of both of those locos at Niles and Campo!  Such fun!
