On Sunday, July 24, after a ten-year absence, the Billy Jones Wildcat Railroad of Los Gatos, California will be celebrating the return of steam. A special ceremony commemorating the centennial of the 2-Spot and thirty-five years of railroading in Oak Meadow Park will be held. Train rides will begin at 12:00 PM and run all day.
