Nice! That video brought back memories of the sounds of the S.P. "Mallets" (as they were known to the crews) almost as if from yesterday.
I was 13 and living in the Hayward, CA area when the last of the AC's ran. Got up in two of them at the Hayward siding and was very fortunate to ride in another while it picked up some cars in town. The sounds of the twin steam exhausts near the stack, and the asynchronous stack talk as the two engines began moving stands out in my mind. Wonderful stuff.
