Does anyone know the status of the 2472 and other cars stored at Niles Canyon?...The GGRM website hasn't been updated in a long time so I have a few questions that someone should respond to if they have any hope of attracting membership and donations.

I realize its a volunteer group who's members have other obligations and I commend you for your past hard work. I hope the "leadership" has someone in a position of authority to respond to questions that many people probably have so that rumors don't surface and spread.

Right now, I think a lot of people may be unwilling to donate time or money if they don't know what's going on.

Is the engine anywhere near operational condition, is it being worked on, Is the Niles Canyon track in good enough condition to support an engine that size in revenue service and how/where could they turn it around.

Also, what are the long range plans....merge with PLA and stay in the canyon or move...

I have heard the organization wants to find a site on the peninsula, but how realistic is that? When the new Caltrain maintainance facility opens will there be room for the engine their or could it be stored in SF in the Caltrain yard?
