Interesting track config for produce terminal
#11
The Los Angeles Produce Terminal had spur tracks arranged like steinjr's plan. It was located on the Los Angeles Junction Ry & had 12 tracks (each held 3 cars). The tracks were close enough that 3 cars could be loaded w/ bridge plates between them.. Know an old head UP conductor who worked for the J in '79 and the produce terminal was still there. There are 2 pix off it on page 13 of the 10/03 Warbonnet issue. So going to add it to my version of the J! Added a picture of this terminal from Historic Aerials (1972) here. It's that long building running horizontally. You can sort of see the reefers on the top side of the building. That's Exchange Ave above it & the UP San Pedro Sub./Downey Rd. to the left.
