Mr. Juppo-- Thank you for your information on Hercules. For years I have tried to explain on different forumns about the small railway that I used to see in the 50's when traveling on upper San Pablo Avenue (old Highway 40).. I was particularly shot down on my statement regarding the "tunnel" under I-80... Heck, you could see it plain as day from the right hand lane of the freeway while driving West.

What was the gauge ? No one knows! From the freeway sighting or years earlier from U.S. 40,
I always seemed to think it was somewhere around 12-16 inches. Care to guess ?
Thanks again..

KRK
