The Richmond Pacific RR

An SW1200 of dubious ancestry shoves hoppers up Wright Avenue in Port Richmond on a Saturday afternoon.

 

The RPRC serves an industrial section of Richmond as well as the Chevron refinery near Point Richmond. They interchange with UP's former SP Cal-P and the BNSF. A good portion of their carloadings come from roughly tri-weekly unit coal trains. The cars are brought to and taken from the unloader in manageable chunks which traverse the street running here at 4th and Wright.
