With Google signally some changes to their photo archives, and no clear actual answer as to what form this will take, I am making a big attempt to wind up a lot of blog posts that I have been putting together for future use.
This weekend will see a number of posts published to get it all out there before the Google changes take effect and the site images put at risk.
All photographs will still be available on our PRHS Facebook group.

Struck me as an unusual classification for what is essentially a GC carriage.

CMC-372 was part of a fast dying breed of once common railcar when photographed at Tutuban.
The pitched roof was to deter the illegal squatters from using the trains to dump their garbage.

Something I only noticed recently was the naming on BC-583.
Franklin Baker Co is a business still exists in San Pablo. It is has been a maker of coconut products for over 100 years and must have once railed products out of it's lineside plant in San Pablo.
I've tried to contact them for further information. However, as is not unusual for businesses there, I have just been ignored. Great public relations right there :-)
