Last Tell-tale in So. Cal ?? (Wherezit with no pic.)
Author: Ed_Gyptian

My Dad and I saw one today. Can anybody tell us where we saw it?

If I say the old fuds from Pasadena (Jones, Stivmac and Winslow) can't play, does that give too much of a hint???

No. But sort of kind of close. There is trolley wire/catenary nearby...

Comimg into Pasadena from LA near Fair Oaks or Oak Lawn. You can see them from the Gold Line Trolley. Are they over the UP right of way?

Give that man a ceegar.

On the former UP Pasadena branch r-o-w just south of the Columbia St. bridge in South Pasadena.

And for Choochoodriver, they are close to a electric RR powerstation. The original powerhouse for the Pasadena & Los Angeles which is still standing on Fair Oaks Ave in southern Pasadena just about 150 yards away.

This location has showed up in a fair number of pictures in Trainorders in the recent pass.

A photo of the South Pasadena tell-tale is at the bottom of this page on the UP Pasadena Branch.
