Yeah, she gives us an inside look at the Billy Jones Wildcat Railroad as the sun comes up, the engine heats up. You have to show up three hours early to get it to where it will move. And so you got to you got to build it three hours, three hours. But you know, youve got it when it lifts off a little steam, the bell rings and then when you get. To gibson , that unmistakable sound and that calls to those young and old, were actually on a bike ride. We live in. Campbell and she heard the trains horn and is like, lets go. So we went and we found the train. Welcome to the Billy Jones Wildcat Railroad in los gatos, one of the few nonprofit of its kind. Though a lot of the other ones in the area are private operations, privately owned for profit things that work to keep themselves afloat. We rely entirely on donations on ticket sales to kind of help keep us afloat. This railroad was born out of a love of trains and community. It was back in the 1940s when billy jones found this number two train in a scrap yard and saved it. And then created something everyone could enjoy. He loved trains, so he actually worked for the Southern Pacific Railroad for his entire career. So he grew up working with trains and having the opportunity to run a small engine on his property was something that appealed to him. He also just had a general love and care for the community so he wouldnt charge for tickets, any donations that would come in outside of just general maintenance cost. He would donate to local charities. It became a part of the fabric of los gatos and jones made sure it stayed. We actually have a photo of billy jones and walt disney. Were actually friends to the point where walt wanted the number two engine to operate in disneyland. Originally before billy convinced and encouraged him to get his own engine so that it would have its own history rather than erasing the history of the number two. After he died in 1968, a group of businessmen came together to make sure his legacy endured and moved the train here to oak meadow park. Today the tradition continues. What are we going to go on . Did did they come in here since his daddy was his age . I like to enjoy. And while its not free anymore or the railroad says prices are kept as low as possible, whats the first thing i said . The um. If it was overpriced, we couldnt do it. But if it was price and the budget, we could do it. Just 3 gets you a seat. Have you been on this train before . Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. What do you like about the train . The ocean takes you back. Childhood and new memories for our boys. Yeah. It gets you a ride past Los Gatos Creek and through the 12 acre park. We never really went outside outside of the day. And now i live in Mountain View with my family, and i found this place. And my boys have three boys. They love the train, so its slow and fun. 3 will also get you on the bill mason carousel built in 1915, it joined the railroad in 1991 and beckons you to find that special horse. It was like it had blond hair. It was the color white. And it like had flowers and stuff on it. And take a little spin. In fact, we went to disneyland and all he wanted was the carousel. Because of this one, we do the train in the carousel once a week at least. Yeah. Yeah. Do you like the train . Yeah the carousel. And this fleet of trains have a history, but so do the people who care for them. The high school kids. Who are your crossing guards and conductors. All of all volunteers like cortland who do whatever is needed. I like pretty much everything. And ever since i was like 9 or 10, ive been really into trains. Ive been coming here since i was like probably a toddler. I do like any kind of like job that doug wants me to do. Like i, i scrape rocks out of the ties. I work on the roofs sometimes and people like kelly locke, who started here as a teenager looking for a summer job and ended up board president. Climbing the hill is the most challenging, which i really enjoy the challenge, especially with this locomotive. In 1970, i started training on the number two engine and became an engineer on the railroad. In august of 1970. Stop it. So im sorry, ive been an engineer here for 53 years. Wow so there you go. Why there still . Im still trying to get it right. And i will continue doing it until they either kick me out or i get it right. That was Claudine Wong reporting.
