Red Rock Winery "Critter"         
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.
