Michigan-California 36in gauge bobbie car set. These small disconnect cars were used by the Mich-Cal to transfer rough cut lumber from Pino Grande to the box factory at Camino in El Dorado county California from 1887-1940. Their small size allowed transport of lumber over the cable tram system across the American River gorge. Brakes were applied individually by poles fitted into sockets on the sideframes of the cars. According to records, these cars were never used to haul logs, only cut lumber and various other items later in their life.
