Re: Yuba City Map


 

Scott,

I wish I had seen that photo, (Sigh!) but I rarely look at eBay these days. The Diamond Match spur in Yuba City remains a mystery to me.

Did anybody on this board snag a copy of this photo that they could share here?

Attached is a photo from my collection taken by Will Whittaker of that excursion. He dated the photo as 26 March 1960. It is the only photo of this excursion among the negatives I bought from Will, but I am sure there were others. A view of the trip at the Yuba City depot by Stan Snook is on page 84 of Jim Harrison's SACRAMENTO NORTHERN GALLERY, and there is a similar unattributed shot on page 362 of ?John Ryczkowski's?WESTERN PACIFIC PICTORIAL, but both are beyond the Diamond Match spur. ?

Yours Aye,


Garth Groff ??

Garth ,
a photo taken around 1958 was just sold on ebay.? It shows SN 653 & WP 376, RDC, coming off of the Feather River Bridge into Yuba City.? They are? passing by the Diamond Match Companies retail lumber yard location shown on your map.? What is more surprising to me is the two main tracks that lead up to the eastbound block signal protecting the bridge.? Single track begins just east of the signal.? ?
