Re: HERCULES POWER PLANT CALIF ..INDUSTRIAL TRACKAGE ?

As far as I can recall, the narrow gauge passed under US 40 in the same area that the Santa Fe passed under the same road. It has been a long time and I now live in Washington, so I can't give you an exact location.

The Hercules operation was not the only narrow gauge in the area. I know that there was one on Pt. Pinole, but I have no specifics. There was also narrow gague at the ASARCO plant at Selby, and it was active right up to when the entire operation was shut down around 1970.

If "Juppo" will provide an email address, I will see what I can do concerning your request.

I know that some of the Hercules narrow gauge equipment went to a very short lived operation near Petaluma, but I have no idea of where it went after it shut down.
