Pacific Coast Railway & Google Earth

Now that I finally have a place where I can spread out I'm pulling boxes out of storage with books and papers that I haven't seen in more than three years. Among them is the book The Pacific Coast Railway by Westcott & Johnson.
Just for the fun of it I opened up Google Earth and tracked down all the locations I could and marked them. The one location I really wanted to find but just couldn't be sure was Hadley Interchange Tower where the PCRy crossed the Southern Pacific mainline. A few descriptions were thrown in for good measure.
I exported the Placemarkers into a handy dandy file any should be able to add to their Google Earth:

If anyone can add to this set please drop me a line.
Cheers,
Curtis F.
