Narrow gauge critters |
| Description: |
These two critters, a little GE and a little Plymouth, stand guard at the Roaring Camp & Big Trees engine house, presumabley protecting the Shay and Heisler behind the doors. Both units ran while I was there, but I was too far for a picture in both cases. GE 25-tonner #50 comes from Bethlehem Steel in Los Angeles, CA, while Plymouth Model DDT #40 came from Kaiser Steel in Fontanta, CA. |

| Title: |
Red Rock Winery "Critter" |
| Description: |
This little display train is parked at 7326 East Hwy 140 in Planada, CA (near Merced) as part of the Red Rock Winery. It is led by a General Electric 25-ton, 150 horsepower, industrial locomotive. The builder number for this unit is #28247, which indicates that it was built in 1947. Originally delivered to Pacific Coast Aggregates in Fair Oaks, CA as their #P-103; it then went to Lone Star Indstries as #5103 before finally being sold to Red Rock by October of 1999. Behind it is a tank car and a steel Southern Pacific Class C-30-5 bay window caboose. The C-30-5s were built in 1949 by the SP from parts supplied by American Car & Foundry. |
