I still don't know the location. The case for the Iron Mtn can be made.
For those who do not have access to a 45 year old publicati0n, here are some scans from the i964 Western Railroader. Hopefully Francis Guido won't come after me for copyright infringement.
Here are three of the Iron Mtn Porters, They don't match up exactly with the close up of the Mystery photo I've posted below.
But the configuration is much closer to the much later shot of #5 at Martinez, Which is coincidently much closer to Orinda.
Dan, any regrets about not becoming a dairyman. Still waiting for the Patterson and Western book.
