I would like to see that too. Indeed, i'd like to watch trains there again, as I used to do as a kid.
But that area has been behind the "... curtain" for years; the town of Port Chicago, aka. Bay Point, being bulldozed at gun point in the late sixties / early seventies by the marines (don't remember exactly when - but saw it with my own eyes). It is now deep into a high security military reservation, "Military Ocean Terminal - Concord" or MOTCO.
Perhaps a train crewman that gets stopped or slowed there could get a picture from the cab. You wouldn't want to be seen on the ground with a camera though!
