I was just reading this news article from 2007 about the groups merging to form a terrific new museum at Niles. It all sounded so hopeful. I wish they could have made it happen.


Quote:
Henry Luna, one of the four founding members of the Pacific Locomotive Association, which operates the railway, said he was happy to see all the equipment coming in.

“It’s part of our master plan to accommodate Golden Gate since its lease was terminated. It’s not easy to find space for all of these trains,” he said.

The overall goal is to combine Golden Gate and Niles Canyon with a San Jose group, which also has to move, Luna said.

“The equipment from the three groups complements each other — it would be one of the best collections in the U.S.,” he said. “And Niles Canyon is one of the most historically correct places to do this.”
