Great photograph and interesting narrative about what was.

Great train picture and an even better tie in to history & the Vietnam war.

Drew, I really enjoy your historic photos. I do hope you keep them coming. Long ago and far away, when I was doing my switchman, brakeman, conductor life, working for the good ol Espee, I too switched some Del Monte plants that no longer exist; like the Fruit Cocktail facility in Emeryville where the Pixar campus is now located and the old Ketchup plant at Fruitvale in Oakland -- now a shopping center. It often seems like the yesterdays were only yesterday, and yet all that remains of those days and places are hazy memories from a period that was not only a different time, it was a different world -- and your camera shows it as such. Again, thanks for all your efforts.
