IBLS Journal 1948

The years rattled on, including the WW II years, and after the war was over, several members spoke of the desire to operate their locomotives outdoors in a similar manner as Carl Purinton on the East Coast was doing. After some very diligent searching, the new GGLS club was able to secure the use of a large piece of land in Oakland's Redwood Regional Park on which to build an outdoor track. This took place in 1948.
