Martinez and Port Chicago in 1975

In 1975 you could still get to Port Chicago, CA and drive on Port Chicago highway. It was very close to where I lived, in Concord. Often I would do a circuit starting in Port Chicago, heading west through Avon to Martinez, CA; then back home.

Photo One: In 1975 ATSF GP35 3326 is all decked out in pinstripes at Port Chicago.

Photo Two: In 1975 the 65-00547 a Navy MRS1 is flying over Port Chicago Highway and SP's Mococo line, just west of Port Chicago.
