A 36-minute program, (available from Yard Goat Images on DVD and Video On Demand), features #2, a Grand Scale locomotive built in 1905 for the Venice Railway in Venice Beach, CA. In 1939, railroad man Billy Jones discovered #2 in a scrap pile and bought it. After restoring the 2-6-2, he built a miniature railroad to run it on. Following his death, the railroad was rebuilt in a nearby public park. The railroad also has 3 diesels and steam locomotive #5, a 4-6-2 which had just arrived on the property prior to our visit. yardgoatimages.com
