You think your car gets bad mileage? SP 4449 consumes 10 gallons of bunker oil and 100 gallons of water every mile.

Maybe not a graveyard, but a spare parts supply?

I speak my mind, if you don't like that oh well. I'll have you fill out a hurt feelings report and submit that to my office.

I'll take the GS bells. If they die, I can rebuild them.

Here are three more from scenic Central California:
Weber Ave, Stockton:

F Street, Galt:

This one from Lodi was a lucky find. My understainding is that this is a branch line which serves only one customer three times a week. It's a crossbuck only crossing that cuts through a T intersection where the traffic lights add additional "protection":

Going back to my find in Lodi, here's the same train occupying another crossing as viewed farther down the street along another side street.
