If I remember correctly, sugar beet acreage in California is down significantly. It is unlikely that any are shipped by rail in California anymore. I have not seen any in probably over 15 years. Also, I believe that Mendota was receiving beets by rail back then. Date: 06/28/16 16:52 Re: SP.Near The End, Part 2. Author: ProAmtrak AWESOME Don!
