The Yosemite Portland Cement Company's silos at Merced.
Only ghosts in 1999. The only rails that remain are
those of the Santa Fe Ry. But they like the silos and
mill are dead. The S.P. rails were pulled a few years
before the YPCCo. shut down and the Y.V. rails were
removed when the rest of the railway was salvaged.
