Eight shots from the early 1970s of the electric operation at the Pacific Coast Agregates plant in Davenport CA. The passenger car was used to move the troops up to the pit. The electric motors were used to bring down the aggregate in the hopper cars pictured. The operation was junked and a conveyor belt system installed shortly after my visit. <br /><br />
