Castro Point Railway 103 (1929 Plymouth)

            This Plymouth is a 10-ton model JLA, type WLG-13  builders number 3368 built in November 1929. The locomotive was built for the Santa Catalina Island Company of Avalon, California, and worked to build Los Angeles and Long Beach harbors. In 1940 it was sold to American Bridge Company in Los Angeles and was used in construction work including building the Shasta Dam. In 1965 it was moved to Richmond, California, where it eventually ended up at Judson Steel until 1972 as a switcher. In 1976 it was bought and restored by G. Childs and H. Wise and became Castro Point Railway #103 (this was the first known number the locomotive ever carried). 

In the late 1980’s the Plymouth was moved to Niles Canyon and used to move cars around Brightside yard until the arrival of Santa Fe locomotive No. 462. In 2001 the Plymouth was sold to Dennis Mann and Johnathon Kruger and was given a new paint job. The locomotive is currently on loan to the Pacific Locomotive Association.

NOTE: Whoever added the fake "wind up" key had a wicked sense of humor
