Meanwhile in Los Gatos

The Billy Jones Wildcat Railroad in Los Gatos, CA is still alive. Right now, all we can have open is the concession stand because, and I never knew this, Vasona Park proper is unincorporated Santa Clara County, not Los Gatos (Oak Meadow Park is within Los Gatos city limits).

That hasn't stopped us from firing our steam locomotives for testing. Today, Billy Jones' 2-Spot was fired up and made two roundtrips. As you can expect, we attracted a bit of a crowd.

Here she is before the first of two runs.

And here is a video I shot of her turning around for the second run: YouTube
