I grew up in the channelview area, and most of the info that has been posted is correct. to add to some the bunkers roads all were situated to meet on penn city rd., where there is an still existing railroad, with in some spots original ramps for loading and unloading. this system was set on both sides of the rails. from what i've seen up close since major developments in that area, the bunkers for the most part have been dozed over, with pipeyards, chemical processors, exporters...etc have taken thier places. stratigicly set up for shipping, by rail, truck, and water. another thing to add about the buildings is, if you are going to the toll bridge north to south, on the right there is a large brick building that was the operations headquarters back then, and from the looks of it built to last. in the 70's it was the place to take a date, because of the darkness from the tree canopy, the mystery of the place, and abundant wildlife trampalling through the woods (boone and crockett deer to this day because of grain spilling on the rails). anyway besides the rumors of murders, cults, and the strange animal that terrorized the area back in 60's-70's, it (penn city rd) had a great 1/4 mile marked off for local pinkslip racing.
