Saw this: Southern California gets a big, fat $0 from Feds for freight, road improvements. Southern California transportation agencies were shocked Monday to learn they were getting zero dollars from the federal Department of Transportation in the first round of a newly approved freight-movement grant program. Instead, the DOT gave out $759 million for 18 projects from Seattle to Louisiana but nothing for projects located within the six Southern California counties.

How the heck does the DeeCee Crowd ignore the greatest metroplex in the West? Given the state of traffic and size of population, one could change the $759 million to $759 BILLION and then there might be a chance that mobility is restored!

Enjoyed that little piece about Amboy.  It's kind of a miracle those railroad sidings lasted as long as they did through to the 1970s.  That whole stretch of 66 is a hell of a lot of fun but you're basically for all intents and purposes on the moon.  There is a lot to see in Chambless, Cadiz Summit, Danby (if you're fast with the camera driving by....lots of dogs), Essex (more attack dogs) and even Goffs.
