aerial view shows the Christian Brothers' Mt. Tivy (later Mt. LaSalle)
winery at Lac Jac from almost the same orientation as the SPINS
diagram. It was probably taken in the 1950s. Reedley, CA is to the
right. The track at the lower right is the Santa Fe's Visalia District.
Note the boxcar on the spur. The track at the top is the SP's Exeter
Branch. There are two more boxcars almost hidden by trees on one of the
SP spurs near the center of the photo. (James Lancaster collection)
 This view shows the Santa Fe tracks and the newer winery buildings and storage tanks in 1983. (Randy Sunada photo)  This view is looking south across the former SP Exeter Branch (now San Joaquin Valley RR) track toward the winery in March 2008.
