Like most of the other vegetables beets have also been struggling this summer but in the end they managed to produce a decent harvest.
I've given away most of my beet crop to the neighbours this year and left just a few for myself.
Enough for modest amount of homemade beet soup.
Southern Pacific was known for hauling sugar beets throughout California. The rail campaigns to move the beets to sugar refineries were a hallowed rite of railfanning, since they featured ancient wood beet racks. For the most part, beets were hauled by rail in Central and Southern California.
In 1990, a modest experimental crop of sugar beets was grown in the Klamath Basin of Southcentral Oregon and Northeastern California. The results were a success, so several thousand acres of beets were grown in 1991. SP beet campaigns came to Northern California.
Beets grown in the Klamath Basin were delivered to loaders on the Modoc Line at Merrill, Oregon and Stronghold, Cailfornia. The loaded beets were then hauled by SP to a refinery in Hamilton City, California. During the 1991 campaign, SP ran a daily local out the Modoc from Klamath Falls to switch out the loaders, along with a daily road job south on the Shasta Route.
The local on the Modoc was called the Staley Turn. It ran with three SD9s and 60 venerable beet cars. Here, it arrives at the Stronghold beet loader on December 1, 1991. The distant signal is for the diamond with Burlington Northern. The aging searchlight signals had originally been supplied by Great Northern. They were the only signaling on the entire Modoc Line.
Eventually, changing markets ended sugar beet farming in the Klamath Basin. The last beet trains on the Modoc ran in December 2000.

Originally named Hughes, Brighton is in the South Platte valley and benefited greatly in agriculture from the construction of large irrigation systems along the river. The Brighton community had been interested in its own beet sugar factory since at least 1901 and got their first one with the Keyes Syrup Company plant (Keyes was the name of its general manager) which was built in 1906 on donated land. The factory didn't live long and closed a year later. Candy Hamilton's book tells the complete story of the failure which can be summarized by saying that this independent factory was already surrounded by GW growers and had a difficult time competing for farmers to grow beets.
Ten years later, Brighton tried again. The Farmers and Merchants of Adams County successfully convinced Great Western to build a Brighton sugar beet factory. It didn't hurt that 1916 was a boom year for Colorado beets, surpassing all previous records with a whopping 2.7 million tons of beets processed vs. 1.7M in 1914 (the Longmont factory was the top producer in the state for 1916, paying out $1,125,000 to farmers). The Larrowe Construction Company of Detroit got the $1,500,000 contract for the factory and machinery, and GW fully billed Brighton as a "showcase for the corporation."
Brighton Sugar Factory circa 1918
Being the closest GW factory to Denver, the Brighton factory was designed for visitors and dignitaries in mind, having landscaped lawns and shrubs, a gated entrance, and a modern administration building. President Eisenhower was probably the most famous visitor to the Brighton factory, stopping by on a Tuesday, September 14, 1954.
The Brighton factory operated for 60 years until 1977, closing the same year as the Longmont factory. It's record processing day was 2,678 tons on November 30, 1964 (from Hamilton's book).
Today, the Brighton factory still stands along north Main Street and is owned by Amalgamated Sugar. Until recently, some of the factory equipment was still up for sale on the company web site and part of the site is still used for warehousing today. Unlike other remaining GW factories, Brighton has its grounds fenced off from a noticeable distance.

The beetroot is the taproot portion of a beet plant, usually known in Canada and the USA as beets while the vegetable is referred to as beetroot in British English, and also known as the table beet, garden beet, red beet, dinner beet or golden beet.
The first painting since I left Buffalo for the summer, Beets is more or less an experiment for me. I tried extremely hard to preserve intensity in the vegetables and to make their bright and warm colors the focus of the painting. I think for the most part the chroma is successful while still true to the local color and actual color of the subject. I especially like the flora that sits in the back of the painting (near the top) with its bright rose and mauve tones.
