BN#137 @ Greenville - a photo on Flickriver

            A three way meet is taking place in this view from November 25, 1972. Sitting in the clear is Sperry Rail Service detector car #137 and behind me waiting in the clear on the siding is WP's Westwood Turn. Both are waiting for BN/WP run-through #137 to pass through the small town of Greenville, California on it's way to Keddie. The operator can be seen hooping up some orders and/or clearance cards. IIRC, WP had extended CTC only as far as Greenville from Keddie on their NCE (Northern California Extension), aka the Inside Gateway, route by this time. Unfortunately, the small town of Greenville (population appx 800) burned to the ground yesterday, August 4, 2021. A few buildings survived per reports I've read. This is now BNSF territory and the route is closed due the Dixie Fire, still out of control and several large bridges have been lost in the fire.
