Western Railroad Discussion > Thursday's Guadalupe TurnDate: 03/24/17 19:51 Thursday's Guadalupe Turn Author: SPgoletablock The Westbound Gemco to Guadalupe Local is passing under a one of a kind in these parts, oil company built steel supported ,timber span and railing bridge. It is inbetween Ellwood and Naples (SPs MP 356) most of the time there is a rent-a-cop parked dead center on the bridge to keep us surfers off the oil land.

When I worked the Coast years ago always carried a small container of WD 40 . The switch locks would always be rusted, Would squirt the WD into the shackle and lock tumbler channels to make them work properly ,
