2ft gauge on Newhall St. in San Jose

Built in the early 60's, there was a short 2ft gauge railroad located off Newhall St. At the most, 200ft of track to which a third rail was added to provide for 3ft gauge. Equipment was mainly an old mine car and several dry yard dollies.

It was located in my grandmother's driveway and ran to the back of the lot. The three foot rail was installed to allow testing of my narrow gauge speeder used on the abandoned Westside. It was built with 16 & 20lb rail. That rail, and a few tons more, is stacked up (well kinda) in my back yard.

The rail was pulled up in the mid-80's when the driveway and backyard were covered with concrete. I don't think any photos of it still exist.
