Figarden, looking west
With the camera on the rail, we're looking west down the Santa Fe mainline toward to the San Joaquin River. We're about midway through the Figarden siding and it's a bit strange that there are intermediate signals here for the siding, but then it was a long siding and could accommodate two trains. Surrounding the siding on both sides are fig orchards, hence the name. This site is north of Fresno between the city and the San Joaquin River. Today houses surround this location.
