Los Angeles, California

UP 8973 West leads Port Hueneme-bound military train SFCOX 01 past the wash rack at Metrolink’s Central Maintenance Facility, former SP Taylor yard, on a gloomy Sunday afternoon.

 

From this angle you can see how compressed SP’s Taylor yard was, flanked by the tree-lined LA River on the right and residential neighborhoods on the left, this and many other issues were the reasons why it was sold to the Southern California Regional Rail Authority.

 

A few points of interests, the prominent tan building above is LA County USC hospital used by the soap opera 'General Hospital' in its opening credits and the palm tree hillside on the right is Elysian Park home to Dodger Stadium.
