RE: San Yard
I remember as far back as the mid 60's, San Yard was there under AA. They used it primarily for storage of sand cars. Back then, Ford Motor Co. was using a lot of sand for their foundry in Cleveland, most of which came from Yuma. I also remember there was a small stock yard along M-21 that still had an old spur into the complex from the north side of San Yard. Then, Ford Motor Co. also had their battery plant there, which shipped a lot of stuff via box cars. Globe Corp took that plant over in later years, and for a while also used rail. I don't think there's a siding into that property any more.
