A few years back I was in the Lomita Railroad Museum in southern California.
In the two attached pictures are the headlight of RGS #22.
Under the picture it states “donor: A. Zimmerla.

According to this link, #22 was dismantled in 1916.
Anyone know the story of this headlight, where it was since 1916, and how and in what year it appeared in Lomita?
Thank you,
Matthew
