The Sierra Nevada Wood & Lumber Co. Milwaukee 0-4-0 gas locos at Hobart Mill (#1,2 and 3) were, I believe three foot gauge. The operation became known as Hobart Estate in 1917. The #1 and 2 were alike, but #3 was a later version. All three were used in lumber service, hauling little 4-wheel lumber cars around the mill and to/from air drying stacks until scrapped in 1938..
