Re: Sacramento Brick / Antelope & Western #1 0-4-0T

THe purchaser of the locomotive, Hal Wilmunder, had a track laid out in or near the 'town' of Antelope, from the newspaper article I read many years ago. I presume it was somthing of a backyeard RR. He did have run days open to the public. Eventually the track was taken up as Mr Wilmunder built the Camino Cable & Northern.

I understand his son Les still owns the locomotive, I would guess the name remains in memory of his dad. It is also a wonderful example of gold leaf art in a long forgotton style, completely wrong for the type loco, but its a great finish, would be a shame to ruin it. Grandson Casey used to be on this board.
