I recovered this U.S. Coast & Geodetic Survey benchmark from 1954 in good condition. This BM is monumented on the north end of a concrete culvert on the west side of the the westernmost railroad tracks. This BM also appears on a topography map as 'BM 4088.8'. This BM is located on private railroad property, so not advisable to recover this BM unless you know an employee of the railroad. My more accurate coordinates will place you very close to this mark.
