Eric, Andre,
I have John Signor's book, but there's not much info on Guadalupe.
Also, I'm keeping in touch with Bruce Morden (author of the page of the link you metioned) who's been very kind sending me pictures and info. though he provided me invualuable material to work on, he doesn't have all the info I asked him about the 1970s. however he told me he will ask people at SMVRR historical museum if they know about this.
thank you both!

I still need some info about the Guadalupe yard. I know there are some structures close to the yard, some served by rail.was the Simplot elevator in service in the early 1970s? was it served by rail, too? was the Apio building there? I know Apio started business with this name in 1979... but, what about before? thanks in advance.

Denny, don't know if you're aware of this, but you might try here: http://www.smvrhm.org/morden.html
They've got a model of the Guadalupe yard being built.
