I think the "little" handle was the the overspeed cut out cock. Never did see one with a seal intact. There were some engines still around that had that "Rotary " valve and you are right. It was a @#$%& to figure it out.
Memory tells me there were, "Tracy Rock" trains, "Livermore Rock", Logan Rock" trains, etc. One did come all the way around the horn thru Redwood Jct. and up towards the City. It served Kaiser Sand & Gravel at Quint St. and some more went up to 16th & Harrison to a cement plant there. You can't forget their little ditty painted on the trucks. "Kaiser Sand & Gravel. Find A Need and Fill It."
