OK, but I'm not holding my breath.
> Montezuma, I can see a missing bridge,
Montezuma was actually a spur to a cattle shute which left the MT about 1/2 - 1 mile east of the end of the curved trestlework to the drawbridge.
> What's the wye a mile east of Cannon called? I've only seen station names for the "Cordero Junction", "Creed", "Dozier" and "Vacaville Jct" wyes, never for the one that's east of Cannon that probably saw service into. the late 80's.
That one lasted until the late 1970s at best. There are no wyes left.
> Where's "Atlas" and what prospective customers, Doc?
A spur about two miles east of RVJ, no customers. To the best of my knowledge it got cars only about three oe four times (in the 1960s-1970s), not sure who the customer was. The spur was built for an Atlas Powder Company facility which was never used.
