Rebuilt GEEPS pulling baretables west |
| Description: |
Canadian Pacific Belt Pack/RCO yard job brings empties across Victoria Drive into Williston Yard. Power is a pair of rebuilt GP9us. In the back sits the power for RS-1 (road switcher), the twice daily to Coquitlam and back. We are at about milepost 126. The lead unit came to CP from GMDD in 08/1955 and was rebuilt by CP/Ogden in 1986. The second unit was delivered in 1954 from GMDD as CP 8487, and was rebuilt in 1985. These were originally CP class DRS-17a. |

"First Watson Roadswitcher" |
| Description: |
Two rebuilt GP9us and a B23-7 drill in El Segundo. This short section of track here is actually the only remaining piece of the Redondo Branch west of the Harbor Sub. At one time, a train on this track could continue through Manhattan Beach, Hermosa Beach and Redondo Beach (on what is today a really skinny park). Even this shot cannot be taken anymore, as the mall/movie theatre to the right planted those trees, which today are taller then any train. |
