As the title states, I am in a funk when it comes to looking for this business that I remember seeing months back. I am looking for a junkyard in southern california whose tracks wrap around the yard wall and the tracks goes all the way to a harbor or pier with two sets of tracks going into the junkyard itself. It’s located in a very dense area with other businesses around it as well.
thank you in advance.
Can we assume you seen this on Google maps?
yup.
It took me a hour to find it, but i did.
It’s the sims metal company
600 S 4th St Richmond, CA 94804
The Sims operation in Richmond is served by the Richmond Pacific Railroad, formerly the Parr Terminal Railroad. The operations of this very modelgenic terminal railroad and five HO and N scale layouts inspired by the area were covered in Model Railroad Planning 2010 magazine.
Map from the railroad’s website:
Richmond is in the Northern California bay area, not southern California (as the thread title states), although there are Sims facilities in southern California, some of which may still be rail-served.
I did not know that. It look so simple, but a challenge
