1. Is it in its original place? Did Western Pacific tracks go buy there? I'm sure it couldn't have survived the construction of those buildings. So did somebody steal it from anther place and put it there? 2. Why would anybody put an artifact there, in what appears to be a public area? Marty Bernard Date: 09/01/14 06:39 Re: Whereizit?

Uncle Joe,Seffner,Fl. Date: 09/01/14 11:52 Re: Whereizit? Author: sliderslider The answer is Rhode Island off 16th St. in a bit of Western Pacific ROW that headed to the Potrero tunnel.
