I have to disagree with you on the location. It's only about 1/2 mile east of Mococo, midway to Peyton (where the County Spur took off), that curve with the road bridge. Avon is about 1 1/2 mile further East, and that track in the bacground is the Tower, a storage track for tank cars going to Shell and so named for the interlocking tower built along with the Martinez Bridge for the proposed connection to the Danville branch. I was torn down in the early 1960s when the freeway overpass in the bacground (at Mococo) was built.
