Western Railroad Discussion > Reflecting on the Malabar Switcher . . .Date: 12/22/01 08:48 Reflecting on the Malabar Switcher . . . Author: CimaScrambler The day after an infrequent rainstorm in Los Angeles, the Malabar Switcher waits on the BNSF Harbor Sub for UP Dispatcher 50 to let it cross the ex-SP harbor main at MP 2.8.
The single boxcar came from an industry at MP 8, which is just about the only industry between Malabar and El Segundo that is still served directly by the railroad. Kit.

Was that shot taken near the intersection of Slauson and Alameda?
Thanks for sharing your work. Enjoy the holidays! Date: 12/23/01 15:57 Photo location Author: CimaScrambler The photo was taken from just west of Long Beach Blvd and Slauson Ave. A view the other direction would be of the SP diamond and the bridge that carries the Metro Blue Line over the Harbor Sub and Slauson Ave.
