I am trying to find photos and the location of Ollie Johnsons backyard railroad that he ran his Marie E 0-4-0 porter on. Does anyone also know the name that he used for that railroad? I am trying to find the location on Google Map

Ollie had property in eastern San Diego county, which is were the railroad was. I'm trying to dig up what he called it.

It also sat in San Diego at another location for a few years after Ollie before John

Ollie had property in the Julian area, and unless you personally knew him you'd have a heck of time finding the place :wink:

My understanding is that the property has been sold.
