THIS IS THE STOCKTON YARD.. TRAINS COME IN FROM ALTAMONT FROM THE LEFT BEHIND CAMERA. TRACK ON RIGHT IS THE MAINLINE LEAVING EASTBOUND FOR SACRAMENTO.
THERE ARE EIGHT INDUSTRIES HERE AND A 40 CAR YARD. PRESENTLY SEVEN TRAINS STOP HERE TO DROP OR PICKUP CARS.
THE STOCKTON TOWER WILL BE LOCATED NEXT TO THE WATER TOWER AT THE REAR OF THE PICTURE. THIS TOWER PROTECTS THE CROSSING WITH THE SANTA FE WHERE IT ENTERS STOCKTON.
STOCKTON MOVES MORE CARS THAN ANY OTHER YARD ON THE RAILROAD.
ALL MY YARDS USE A TETHERED THROTTLE. ALL YARD TURNOUTS ARE HAND THROWN.
WE USE A COMBINATION OF WAYBILLS AND SWITCH LISTS, THE WOOD SHELF IS FOR HOLDING THE WAYBILLS
EACH YARD ALSO HAS A PHONE CONNECTION TO THE DISPATCHER..
