Crossing the LA River on UP's San Pedro Sub |
| Description: |
A Hobart switch job returns to Hobart Yard over the Union Pacific's Los Angeles River Bridge following performing a drop off at the Los Angeles Junction's A Yard. The three unit switcher had waited quite awhile for traffic to clear at Riddle. The delay caused me to get the attention of a Vernon police woman. She was actually quite friendly, just didn't undesrtand what the heck I was doing standing out there waiting. |

The Saturday 1st Trick local (r/t Watson to El Segundo) is seen here climing Monaco Hill on its way back towards Watson. The sun was shining brightly literally as the train hit the shadows between the trees. When it came out, the sun had gone away. |
