May be I found an area in LA that could be used as a prototype for inspiration of a small ISL.
It is south of the UP Alhambra Sub between (N) Worth St (S) Medford St (W) N. Indane St and (E) Miller Ave. It looks like only the chemical industry (Polychemie) at the east end end is still rail served. I understood also it has it's own rail tractor and exchanges cars at the west end with the UP Alhambra switcher YLZ71R. I would ignore that fact and run UPY switchers down the spur and serve some closed industries too. Looking at the map shows also some gone tracks crossing Medford St. There must have been more rail served industries in the past.
Does that spur/area have a specific name, Mojave Granite Spur ?
Do we have some knowledge in the forum how much rail served industry has been at that spur about ten years ago or is it all long time gone?
