The photo above shows Gene Martin's HO layout that features Lodi. The street crossing the tracks in the foreground is Lodi Avenue and the view is looking north toward Sacramento. Robinsons Feed is at the lower right and the CCT freight station is across the street. The John Graffigna packing house is just behind the CCT freight station. In the far distance is the white front of the Earl Fruit Company. On the left of the tracks in the middle of the photo is the H.M. Young packing shed. Beyond it is the SP depot. The Sacramento Daylight is in front of the depot. (Gene Martin photo)
