SP 2472 Returns
GGRM Staff
August 8, 2022
On September 4th and 5th, Southern Pacific 2472 will return to the rails for excursion runs on the old Northwestern Pacific Railroad between Schellville and the Napa River. This is a must-attend event as 2472 will be going out of service at the end of this year for her 15 year boiler rebuild. Additionally, this will be the first steam powered passenger train on NWP in almost 70 years! You will have the opportunity to ride behind the engine in either a restored SP commute gallery car or our wonderful art deco tavern lounge car, the 2979 (ages 21 and up). Ticket prices will be $70 and $100 respectively with seating being on a first come, first serve basis. There will be 4 round trips per day on both days with each trip lasting an hour and a half. This is an out-and-back excursion with trains departing Schellville at 10 a.m., 12 p.m., 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. We will also have our Union Pacific RPO car on display where you can find our gift shop and take a tour. We hope to see you on the train!

Parking locations will be given at a later date.
