Nothing left in Stockton.......
Author: FALLENFLAG2000

Ever heard that old saying " Photograph it now for tomorrow it will be gone " Well this photo was taken in Stockton CA. An I can tell you just about everything in this photo is gone except the tracks.

They say progress is good, I guess it brings up that old question " why is it everything that's good for you taste so bad.....?

I presume this photo bears witness to the last second of the lives of those two foamers standing on the tracks in front of the 8636.

Unless the tracks go under the signal pole and box and the train is going to demolish them I don't think so.

SD40M-2 SP8636 is alive and well on its way to Mojave today in unpatched and less grimy condition. Haven't been down there to spot it recently but itz a 50/50 chance in L.A. that it has graffiti on it. Thaz more important to me then anything else although hanging out at Stockton Tower today would be cool - manned or unamanned...
