Los Gatos, California Home of Billy Jones
Billy Jones Wildcat Railroad

Billy Jones was a railroad man. He was 13 when he started working for Southern Pacific Railroad. Billy’s hobby was working on his project of love for the children of Santa Clara Valley. In 1941 he started construction of his own railroad on his ranch at the corner of Daves Avenue and Winchester Blvd. in Los Gatos. Completed in 1943, the first round trip train ride on his orchard was completed. For the next 25 years, children of all ages in the Santa Clara Valley enjoyed the fun of riding behind a real steam engine.

Following his death, the train was brought to Oak Meadow Park in Los Gatos, California. On July 26, 1970 Billy Jones Wildcat Railroad was opened.
