- The shay at the Eldorado County fairgrounds (actually
- the local historical society museum, which is at the
- fairgrounds) is former Diamond & Caldor #4, a 3-foot
- gauge engine, and the only surviving D&C engine. As
- I remember it, the shay stood for years at the
- fairgrounds, slowly rusting away. It was later moved
- to the Camino, Placerville & Lake Tahoe for restoration.
- When that line folded, it came back to the historical
- society for display. (My facts may be a bit fuzzy but
- that's as I remember it after many years.) RAILROAD
- MODEL CRAFTSMAN ran plans for this engine about 25
- years ago.
