Here's the LAJ Switching Map from Charlie Slater showing the Los Angeles Produce Terminal. There was a plan for a 4 track spur on the internet 1-2 years ago. Another modeler in WI has built a 6 spur version of this produce terminal. Mine will be 10-12 spurs depending on how many can be "compressed" in a 2' x 8' space. The purpose for that track work was to be able to unload 3 reefers at once using planks between them.
The produce terminal was removed in mid '80s so the only way to see it is thru historicaerials.com. Use 4000 Exchange Av 90058 to get you to Downey Rd & exchange Ave. The terminal is in the SE corner.
Have a whole lot more pix of this lead but they are in my Google Picasa files & most people can't see them w/o Picasa. If you PM me w/ your email addy can probably send them that way.
