hi i visited the crossing in the beggining of 1998 and the tower was operable, and old man invited to upstair and see the movements from this point regards
Sad to see that tower go down and the WP row between the yard through downtown was pulled out all those crossings were old griswold crossing gates I miss seeing those. The same thing in the Bay Area the WP row is abandoned between Union City and into downtown Oakland at Melrose junction. All this abandonment was due to the merger with SP in 1996.
I was wondering about the WP row through Stockton. I know BNSF uses the former WP main down into Stockton off the Sacramento sub. Does the abandoned section of WP in Stockton end just a little north of this location?
Man that small SP switcher engine needs to be in a museum. Wow!
My first visit was 1988, thanks for the memories!
I remember being a child of around 9 yrs old going with my friend Andy to go and catch blue-bellied 🦎 right here at the diamonds in the year 1988.
Thanks 😊 for the precious ❤️ memories...
awesome documenting these older assets
Another awesome video.
So cool to see trains before the invention of grafitti
Check out the train museum in Old Sacramento...

@@HitsTownUSA the only part that’s left is the ST&E interchange yard that lies just north of downtown Stockton UP built a connector to that Yard
The tower is gone now and the SP is gone as well. The tracks are still here and still a busy crossing I believe.
I miss the southern Pacific and Western Pacific train's. Great memories
This was great!
You hear an S-3L and your first thought is "Must be SP or UP"
When I think of leslies, I think of the Florida East Coast or the Atchison Topeka Santa Fe.
Excellent!
