Some New Paint at Traveltown LA CA 11/24
Author: erielackawanna

Built in 1921 by Davenport, City of Los Angeles Harbor Department #31 has been cosmetically restored at its long time home a Travel Town in Los Angeles, California. This engine was actually assigned to trackage in Catalina Island where it brought rock to the shore for construction of the harbor and breakwater. It was donated to Travel Town in the 1950s. Also grabbed a shot of ATSF Consolidation 664 by the wig wag.

Interesting photos - The Harbor Department switcher looks small enough to carry around in a pocket.

The Pacific Locomotive Association has a Plymouth Dinky that was also used on Catalina Island.  See article below.
