Hi gang,

 

anybody know what ops are on the Coalinga branch these days?

The rails look used in Huron where I have been working, but I've been there a month and have yet to see any activity. Last I heard was that they (San Joaquin Valley Railroad) would recieve unit trains of grain for the Harris Ranch once a month. Any info appriciated?

I have seen 2 trains a day on the branch from my work. Heading west in the morning returning in the afternoon. Not sure how often they get out to Huron.
