WHOA. IT IS TRUE.
"Henry Luna, one of the four founding members of the Pacific Locomotive Association, which operates the railway, said he was happy to see all the equipment coming in.
"It's part of our master plan to accommodate Golden Gate since its lease was terminated. It's not easy to find space for all of these trains," he said.
The overall goal is to combine Golden Gate and Niles Canyon with a San Jose group, which also has to move, Luna said.
"The equipment from the three groups complements each other — it would be one of the best collections in the U.S.," he said. "And Niles Canyon is one of the most historically correct places to do this."
Part of the plan involves moving the former Southern Pacific Lenzen Street roundhouse in San Jose to the south end of Niles, between the Oakland and San Jose legs of the old Southern Pacific wye, to showcase some of the collection.
"Things are getting better and better," Luna said. "Everything happens with patience.""
