A few quotes:
...
The California Trolley & Railroad Corporation has been restoring SP 2479 since 1989 and it
is now 80 percent complete. The restoration will now be completed at the Pacific Locomotive
Association’s Niles Canyon operation in Sunol.
...
The Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors has vowed to help fund the move of the
locomotive and roundhouse — as well as tools and a 65-ton diesel locomotive — to Niles Canyon
over the course of three years. Steam Services of America has been hired to help move the
locomotive. Once the assets arrive at Niles Canyon, their ownership will be transferred to the
Pacific Locomotive Association.
...
Henry Baum, president of the Pacific Locomotive Association, said his group has long wanted
to have a roundhouse on-site. ... The Pacific Locomotive Association will begin to search for
grants and corporate sponsorships necessary to get this development project completed.
