[Accrs] Rock Island Motor Transit Freight Depot

[Alameda County Central Railroad Society]

I don't know where this photo was taken, I found it listed on eBay. Dated as 1952. 

A couple of things that stand out to me - 

The trucks never got washed much like the locomotives. 

The layout of the tracks makes an interesting model railroad design. 

Notice the Great Northern and Baltimore & Ohio boxes cars are the left. 

The RI dock has a 40' outside braced 7-7 end box car and there is another interesting RI box car on the adjacent track with is a 40' double door box car which might be a 5-5 end design.
