Vacatikon questions

[NW Mailing List]

To elaborate: The roundhouse is used by an electric equipment company (no RR 
applications) adjacent to the Redi-Mix Concrete plant which until recently 
used the old water tank for their business. All is accesible by a street 
parallel to the tracks but there are no photo ops in my estimation.
