On New Years Eve the Portola guys (WPRM) moved the last of the GGRM's equipment to the Niles Canyon Railway interchange at Hearst. This includes the SP 2472 (4-6-2 Pacific), SP 3194 (GP-9) and some railcars. This equipment will join most of the rest of their collection that they are storing on the NCRY. By chance one of the the UP GP-40's that was used was an ex-WP unit. The WPRM guys also used their ex-WP GP-20 #2001 for power. The PLA used their ex-WP GP-7 #713 for their switchout so there were three ex-WP units owned by three different owners all working together on Sunday.
