In 52 year ago I saw the Mine loco and 3 car a Coulterville.CA as the display. Then about 47 year ago I saw mine loco and <2> car.

(A) What happen to the 3rd car.
(B) What outfit did the work for.
(C) I think it was 2 gauge?
(D) Where did the track go to.

From J. David Conrad's The Steam Locomotive Directory:

H. K. Porter cn #1896 of 8/1898 0-4-0T 24" drivers 7x12 cyllinders
built for: Merced Gold Mining Co. #1 at Coulterville, CA
Gauge 24"

As I recall George Turner's Narrow Gauge Nostalgia -- recently reprinted as California High Country Narrow Gauge (by Oso Publishing?) -- has a few pages on the locomotive, etc.
