That "GM "Old Look" is super awesome. Thanks for another excellent daily posting. ALLEN Date: 03/10/22 20:15 Re: Mid-Week Action On The BNSF Lakeside Sub--A Bit Of Traction Author: cewherry No 19 is LARY Tower Car 9350 at the South Park Shops. Built by LARY in 1907, the car was stored in 1962
and then went to Orange Empire (now Southern California Railway Museum) in 1963 where it continues to perform the service is was built for. No 20 shows a two-car Watts Local, outbound on the Outbound Local track somewhere between Amoco Tower and Slauson Tower. The photo was taken from an inbound train running on the Inbound Main; both 'terms' were original PE. I'm sure MCL and LAMTA probably used different terminology. No 21 is at the Compton depot. Car is PE "outbound". Charlie Date: 03/10/22 22:04 Re: Mid-Week Action On The BNSF Lakeside Sub--A Bit Of Traction Author: Ritzville Thanks Allen and Charlie! Thanks Charlie for all insights to these PE and Lary locations and side information, much appreciated.

"chrome glass" effect really makes an effect in a shot Brian Stevens Date: 03/12/22 00:33 Re: Mid-Week Action On The BNSF Lakeside Sub--A Bit Of Traction Author: norm1153 The bus photo is an old look from the San Diego Transit System. Note the logo on the front, and the script writing just to the rear of the front door.
