thanks for the memories, I spent lots of time as a kid there..later I worked just west of Fletcher Dr. 1966-1971, the rear of building faced the tracks, but I only took a few photos in those days..Jim

Interesting that there's an S-2 or an S-4, which were uncommon in LA by then.

Wonder if this was a recently transferee from the Oregon Division.

And that switcher is still in tiger stripe.

Note the E7's on #3's power. I think that the E7's lasted into 1968.
