Full res above. 2:34 PM, 30 Aug 1973. They're maybe a half-hour late, but with the schedule pad they'll be into Oakland less than 10 min late. Why don't we see short cab-over trucks these days, like the one pulling the Lucky trailers? Apparently PG&E (?) has since replaced that tower on the north side of the Strait with a taller one. Does that mean this tower wasn't tall enough for some ships that could fit under the bridges? Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 09/22/22 12:39 by timz.

My Dad would take me fishing for Stripped Bass on boats we would board at Dowrelios the building seen on the left of your photo. I remember watching Cab Forwards running along the shoreline. Thanks for all your outstanding posts.

UP coach, SP coach, GN coach, SFe coach -- then what's that next one, before the BN? Date: 09/22/22 17:32 Re: -- 1973 -- Amtrak 5 at Crockett Author: WAF timz Wrote:
