I actually found a likely location on Historic Aerials, and then tried to prove it! The 1987 CD lists the Apex Wholesale Produce Co at 1580 Jesse Street. Armed with this information,
I think the Apex sign behind the railroad crossing may have a Jesse Street address, but I can't read the number. That means we're looking east from near S Santa Fe Avenue. Here's
a 1980 view, which is slightly earlier than e_r's photo. The empty lot on the far left of e_r's photo is still occupied and the rail spur is clearly visible.

The large, off-white building on Mesquit Street has gone, but the new one still belongs to Rancho Cold Storage.
