Western Railroad Discussion > Last Day of Port of LA Red CarDate: 10/03/15 20:19 Last Day of Port of LA Red Car Author: erielackawanna Last Sunday I headed down to San Pedro for the reported last day of Red Car ops. I've heard some conflicting info, so not sure if there is a reprieve in the works or not, but here's what I shot. Actually started by rostering one of the PHL MPI/Progress Rail Frankensteins at Knoll.
Third image is of the one replica Red Car running while I was down there, seen at the Cruise Ship Terminal station.

John Date: 10/04/15 06:25 Re: Last Day of Port of LA Red Car Author: tc Nice shots Charles aw man I missed you down there I rode one of the cars on sunday and the operator stated they still had 30 days but as you and I know things do change without notice back to the shots NIce, I wish I could of got some good ones like you did thanks for them. Its funny about the PHL units when they were shoving cars around I kept waiting for the roar of a diesel engine and all you could hear was a purr, weird. Thanks Tim
