I remember seeing it in the mid-90's and marveling how it had survived trackside while virtually every other SP frame depot in the area had not. It was later moved to Lemoore to masquerade as their depot. Date: 05/18/15 18:06 Re: A Few SJVR Photos Author: spnudge Please educate me. The flying goose looks like it came from YW. Or is it the other way around ?

Date: 05/18/15 20:40 Re: A Few SJVR Photos Author: dlbowen I don't know who owned the depot; but in '92 I doubt very seriouly if SP would paint it that color.

Next the Goose showed up on the SD&AE which Kyle bought the remains from the SP's SDAE in 1980. |
