Even though I lived just across the schoolyard from the SP line in the east San Fernando Valley, I think it's the sugar beet trains in the San Joaquin Valley that I have the fondest memory of. It seems that every time I travelled highway 99 north of Bakersfield as a kid, that train was on the tracks next to the highway. I've seen some models of those sugar beet gondolas in my Walther's catalog, and thought about those days many years ago. There was nothing spectacular about that train, but maybe that's what made it special. Maybe it's just my memories from those trips on which I saw that train. I can't say why I have such fond memories of that train, but I do!
