Aerial Photos:
The first two images were recorded from a drone by Steve Bush, who has a "thing" for photographing wyes. We opine that his works transcend foamer photography in favor of the world of art. The third comes from Google Maps via Jeff Moore, who highlited the SP tracks in red, the Weed/Long Bell Lumber spurs in green and U.S. Highway 97 in blue. Note that the west spur ran through today's CalTrans maintenance station.
