Hi, SP 0-6-0.

I'm posting this to let you know that I saw your question. Unfortunately, I wsn't able to find a satisfactory answer for it. I hope someone from Caltrans, Public Works, or Civil Engineering will be able to give us some good info.

From what I was able to learn, R/W posts seem to usually have easily-visible info embedded in them, such as a "C" indicating "California". Also, California's seem to not be as tall as those shown in the photo.

Here are some sites you might find interesting:

* Boyes Hot Springs -- [springsmuseum.org] -- Plus a bonus for railfans -- [www.google.com].

* Route 66 marker found in Missouri -- [www.route66news.com]

* Right of Way marker? -- [forums.geocaching.com]

* Winona Interurban right of way marker -- [localremnants.wordpress.com] -- This page has some possibly interesting "Related links" about 30% of the way down.

My initial searches: [california roadside "right of way" concrete markers]: [www.google.com] , [www.bing.com]
