Possible a part from the Santa Cruz & Felton that ran a narrow gauge line between Felton and Santa Cruz beginning in 1875. The South Paacific Coast purchased the Santa Cruz & Felton lock, stock, and barrel using its right-of-way for the last leg of the trip south from Felton to Santa Cruz following the course of the San Lorenzo river. The SC&F in contrast to the SPC trackwork had steep grades (up to 4%) and very tight turns one of which was so sharp the SPCRR was forced to drill a tunnel to bypass it. The Roundhouse in Carson City had a machine shop in the basement where train parts were fabricated. Wood models were used for the metal parts.
