Western Railroad Discussion > Slithering Outta SLO

The quiet town of San Luis Obispo, California is nestled firmly in the hills of the central coast. It is know for it's quaint downtown, outdoor lifestyle, and being home to the Cal Poly Mustangs. On this afternoon, the quiet activities of San Luis Obispo are broken by the roar of three GE locomotives dragging the northbound oil cans up Cuesta Pass. This train crew will tackle steep grades and tight curves as they take this train to the oil loading facility in San Ardo.

I believe its three days a week south and north.

What kind of orchard at right?

I never climbed to the top of the Chorro hill--
wonder if the ocean is visible from there.

Looks like it could be almonds. They have the "experimental" farm there so you can see just about anything.

NIIIICE...!!
