These photos were actually taken at Streamland Park in Pico Rivera, CA, and show the former Venice Railway No. 1. Billy Jones had the Venice No. 2 for his "Wildcat Railroad," which at the time of these photographs was operating -- in Daylight colors -- at his prune orchard in Los Gatos, CA (near San Jose).

The No. 1 remains in private ownership and is stored in a garage in Southern California.
