I take it you are talking about the BNSF El Segundo job?

That's pretty late for the BNSF 711 Job - They usually are around Wise sometime between 11 and 1.

BTW, since the middle of the Harbor Sub is now officially abandoned, there are missing rails just south of Imperial Hwy. Amazing, since only a few months ago they rebuilt the crossing at Imperial with concrete panels. Someone didn't plan that one out very well.

EL SEGUNDO; Where the sewer met the sea!

Anything other than tank cars?

Nope just propane cars.

My guess is the crossing upgrade was paid for with government money. Those projects take years to line up, so the funding was probably set long ago.

When is this line going to Metrolink?

In the 'old' daze when at First Street, we wags just said:
Oh Really..What made 'Elsie Turn'...

Already owned by LACMTA, who owns all SCAX ROW in LA County...

I suppose that depends on how Proposition J on today's ballot goes. If it goes up, sometime in the next 10 years, more or less. If it goes down, sometime in the next 30. At least that's how my meager mind figured it out.
