I'm in need of any history info on the narrow guage line of the El Dorado Lime & Mineral Co.
It was a very short line connected to the SP Placerville Branch between Latrobe,Ca and Shingle Springs,CA and served a quarry. Was operated by an ex Standard Lumber/ex Empire City 3ft guage Shay according to what little info I have. Any further info or maybe even photos would be greatly appreciated.
I'm hopefully putting this together as my final "feature" railroad on my Foothill Rails site.
