Yup, Pretty close to that boundary between the Eucalyptus trees of the LA Basin and the creosote bush scrub of the high desert.

But I do believe your second pic looks like the section in Mexico & the first one is on the US side of the border. Tom Date: 04/27/05 08:41 Re: A Tough whereizit (1970) Author: the_expediter You're right! both on the T&T- I got on the train (#452-e/b) at the border (San Ysidro) so that yard limit sign was probably for Tijuana...most people looking at this wouldn't be thinking about Mexico...Cheers, Steve
