Was out at Ardenwood Farms yesterday and thanks to SPCRR member Don Marenzi got the complete tour. Hats off the the SPCRR folks and their program of preserving the technology of the early CA narrow gauges.
Led me to wonder how much stuff from the CA Bay Area narrow gauges (SPC, NPC, Santa Cruz, Pajaro Valley, etc.) actually survives. I know that there are the ex-SPC (former Oregonian) boxcars and SP 101 at Ardenwood and some cars and maybe a locomotive at CSRM. Any other places with SPC, NPC, et al equipment out there.
Too bad no locos seem to have survived, although it is amazing that the Santa Cruz RR engine in the Smithsonian is still with us.
