If I have my bearings right, the middle of this train is blocking Weber Ave. And in the middle of that, it is crossing and blocking the SP’s wye track which points east where it is the start of SP’s Montpellier Branch. Nice angle on this train.

Great shot of the CZ !
805A looks a lot better than it did on the Louisiana & North West RR when I saw it 12 years later.
