Now at Travel Town in LA, here is California Western's Baldwin 56, at Fort Bragg, California in 1977. I think it came originally from the McCloud River RR in northern California.http://abpr.railfan.net/abprphoto.cgi?f ... 4-9-77.jpg

Travel Town got the locomotive in a trade with Willis Kyle (when he operated both the Lahaina Kaanapali & Pacific and the California Western). He in return received the OR&L #85 (which operated at Travel Town for a time in the late '50s), as well as the Oahu Sugar locomotive now a cosmetically-restored display in Lahaina.

These two cars were once used on the City of San Francisco and on the City of Los Angeles and when the Pullman cars went to the railroads in the late 1940s went into C&NW ownership. Later they were used as part of "Sioux Chief Traintel" (motel) at Sioux Falls, South Dakota. I think that Kyle obtained the cars from there.Hunters Point is a 4 double bedroom - 4 compartment - 2 drawing room car.Rose Bowl is an 18 Roomette car that was once named Telegraph Hill.
