Photo by Roni Gehlke. The Vintage Parkway overpass at Milepost 1146.4 provides a physical gateway between CTC territory and the Pittsburg yard limits. A ramshackle shed sits near the mainline at Milepost 1145.5 . In early April 1999, a westbound manifest freight prepares to pass the aging structure, which is still in use by the property owner. We photographed it from the shoulder of nearby Highway 4.
