In researching the actual roadbed location of the Visalia and Tulare Railroad, I discovered that it was on the west side of Mooney Blvd, some 20 ft or so from the western edge of Mooney Blvd as a simple road in 1892. This was typical of the railbed from just south of Tulare Ave Visalia to Tulare Ave in Tulare.<br />My question is: Did Mooney blvd gain a lane on both sides of Mooney Blvd when it was widened to the current 4 lanes as seen in the country, or was the original two lanes the actual north bound lanes or current south bound lanes? I remember seeing a picture of the original Mooney Grove park and kinda remember the road next to the entrance being in the same place as the north bound lane is today. Perhaps someone could confirm this.<br />In any case, the Tulare County 1892 atlas was very valuable in establishing where the road bed was located.

Pretty old post but my name is Samantha...Hey there! Pretty old post but my name is Samantha Dudney and I'm trying to get all the information I can about the Wunder Stag noted in this post! I was told by my father my grandfather Tom Dudney owned, or shared ownership of the Wunderstag for a period of time until he died and my grandmother sold it? I wanted to try to get any info I could on dates or even pictures? My grandmother passed away before I could ask her about it. Does anyone know where I could find any info or get ahold of anyone?<br /><br />Thanks<br />Samantha Dudney<br /><br />Samanthadudneyma@hotmail.com<br />925-207-8547Samanthanoreply@blogger.com
