Can anyone provide us with recent JPEGS of the ex-Rock Island 0-4-0T that has long sat at Jamestown, California? Plus any updates on its status?<br>

I was down in Jamestown in September, and I didn't see that engine.. Unless it was somewhere that I didn't see (I was all around the shops, yards, etc..)<p>I might be heading down there agian in a month or so, if no one has a picture I will try and get one.<p>-Andrew<br>

The reason nobody finds the 0-4-0T, is because its parked down on what is left of the Angels Branch. If you look across the street from the old fieght depot on the Angels Branch you'll see some old hopper cars. Just go down one street(I think, maybe two streets) and you'll see it in the bushes under an old tree at the next crossing there. Good luck finding it, but be careful and don't get hurt. It's really depressing to see that engine so I don't recomend visiting it unless you bring flowers.<p>Johnathon Kruger<br>Steam Department<br>Niles Canyon Railway<br>

Where was this locomotive assigned by the Rock Island, and what kind of service did it perform? Did it work for any industries after ending railroad service?<p>Thanks in Advance<p><br>

From what I can recall in talking with Walter around 1985, the engine was a shop switcher, built out of parts from a retired (I think Norris?) 4-4-0 built in the late 1860's-early 1870's. Sorry to be so vague!<br>
