In the Shadows of Containerization

Damn boxes are everywhere.

 

BNSF's Pasha Stevedore to California Steel Industries LCAL1911 "Loaded Slab" inches towards the small patch of street running at the 43 Switch as it builds it's train at the Pasha Stevedore on Mormon Island. Once the train is in one piece and air tested the Conductor and Brakeman will meet up with the head-end at Goodwin before they head east for Fontana. The Covered Hoppers belong to Pasha's neighbor US Borax which is also is a shipper with the BNSF (PHL works the facility).

 

This train as a whole represents a smaller portion of the Port of Los Angeles' operations, with Pasha being the only one out of the four Break-bulk terminals that receive rail service.
