Industrial Alleys
After navigating through the former Santa Fe Exeter Yard, the San Joaquin Valley Railroad's 608 Job has now begun to work the final active industry left on this trackage. While the train would only need to drop off and pick up one hopper car, there were numerous others that have accumulated at the customer's yard and would need to be moved out of the way before the load could be dropped off. The 440 has just hooked up to nearly the whole set and throttles up, pulling the hefty cut of cars forward. Over time, the rails have sank and shifted with the movement of the earth and trains rolling over them and are likely the original rails laid by the Santa Fe. This scene is complete with elements that have yet to change over the years, which is increasingly hard to find in this day and age in California, and the former FEC motor is quite the cherry on top!
