Again, the designation "ATSF Vernon Team" would be pre-1995, almost 20 years ago. Malabar is currently a very different place, since it's on a one-mile spur off the Alameda Corridor, with no traffic south. Before 2002, the BNSF Harbor Sub went to the LA-Long Beach port area, and the farther back in time you go, the more traffic was on the Santa Fe through here. In the 1950s you could see FM H16-44s and I think also Baldwin transfer locos on this line. All very interesting in itself. I'm just talking about Malabar the way it is now.
