I’ve been out to the old Stockton (CA) Tower to railfan but never on a Saturday. Is it worth staking out on that day? Is there enough BNSF/UP freight action to justify the time? If so, is there any particular time of day I should go?
Anytime is a good time in Stockton tower…er, uh, crossing. Except mabee nighttime, unless you are getto wise.[;)]
To answer my own question, I went out last Saturday around 11 to 3 and it was fantastic. There were at least a dozen or more freights and a couple of Amtrak California San Joaquins that rolled through.
Glad you enjoyed, Stockton tower has always been a favorite location of mine. I might even get to spend a few hours there next week on my vacation. Did you get any pics?
