I was a kid in 1986 and recall buying a couple used children's books in a bookstore housed in one of these box car shops. I thought it was a good way to use those vintage box cars which used to run down those tracks but they disappeared not too long afterward. I appreciate the map overlay which shows exactly how close those boxcar shops were located to the historic turntable discovered underground in the late 90s. Thank you for sharing.
I LOVE your Folsom videos, I’m going to comment on a few, thank you SO MUCH for taking, preserving, and sharing your videos, I love reminiscing and “stepping back in time”. I lived in Folsom from 1978 till 1983, and lived in this area my whole life, your video’s have brought me much joy since I found your channel….thank you, Thank you, THANK YOU. When I first moved out of my parents’ house I rented a little house on Natoma Street about ¼ mile from Hop Sings, I have memories of going to breakfast in one of the Box Cars, I don’t remember which, the name, or anything other than going there for breakfast, but I remember them.
