William "Billy" Jones, 1884-1968

Arcadia

Local train enthusiast and collector William “Billy” Jones (1884–1968) rose quickly through the ranks of the South Pacific Coast Railroad. He established the Wildcat Miniature Railroad on his ranch in Los Gatos and for 25 years delighted passengers of all ages. After his death, the train was refurbished and relocated to Vasona Lake County Park, where it continues to provide a link to the past and a tribute to this great man.
