Elvas Tower (jct of Fresno and Oakland lines) was a location of great activity. The center siding was used for setting out of blocked cars. A Roseville Houston train was always doing work at Elvas center siding

This train likely originated at Oakland EB, at Elvas it became WB, another 50 miles (geographically south) at Lathrop it will become EB again. Orders were constantly being conveyed by the dispatcher to change "direction"
