Description

When Billy Jones purchased the little 2-Spot, he intended to build a backyard railroad he could operate with his two sons. Determined to return his engine to steam, Jones attended night school to acquire the needed skills, putting in many long hours at his company's Mission Bay Shops and constructing a tender using a fuel oil delivery tank. On August 13, 1942, Jones steamed up the 2-Spot for the first time. Son Neal and daughter Geraldine were on hand to share this special moment on the ranch. JON006
