SP Terra Bella Turn - 09-1983
Author: dlbowen

The Terra Bella Turn worked from Goshen, CA to Terra Bella, CA and back most days; a day in 09-83 brought a surprise

1. Spotting loads at a shipper along Goshen Ave. with GP9 3834
2. Engineman Joe Storment relaxing; why?
3. One vehicle stops but one fails to stop

4. A close-up of the accident blocking the exit from the spur.
5. Finally 3834 back on the move.
6. Trainman Terry Shank talking to the dispatcher to gain access to the Fresno Main.

I used to ride a bike along there when I visited my aunt in Visalia.
