Description

"Honorary Engineer" Billy Jones strikes a pose while the Los Gatos High School pep band plays a dirge from Engine No. 5624. After a first train ran to San Jose and returned, chamber of commerce vice president Bert Holmes addressed the crowd with these remarks, "It was customary to drive the last spike when a railroad is completed, but now with the railroad leaving Los Gatos, we'll pull the spikes." A lighthearted Jones added, "Los Gatos will still have a railroad; you can ride mine anytime." JON040
