Wrought Iron rail
In 1889 the Riverside Brick Co., operating in what is now called the Pocket Area of Sacramento County, bought a wood burner 0-4-0 manufactured by the H K Porter Co. The sale was conducted by the Huntington Hopkins Co. This 0-4-0 ran on a 3/4 track from the clay pit to the mill, that rail was 45 lb wrought iron, branded C B D Co. with no date. Insofar as the locomotive was purchased thru the Huntington Hopkins Co., it may be reasonable to assume that the rail C B D Co. was also purchased there.
The Riverside Brick Co. eventually became the Sacramento Brick Co.
Does anyone ... have any idea as the to full company name of the C B D Co.? ...
Thanks, G J Chris Graves, NewCastle, Cal.
