When was the windstorm that blew the track-side roof off the ex-SP Coyote, CA freight house? A clerk in the store northeast of the nearby Coyote passenger depot told me it was on a Wednesday during Jan.-March this year. This 48'x205' freight house, built in 1880 and retired in 1962 on SP's San Jose-Morganhill main line, is shown in 1969 on page 37 of the book I wrote, Southern Pacific Lines Standard-Design Depots (Signature Press, 2013).
