Malabar Yard
#15
By the way, here's a Santa Fe company photo (presumably public domain) of one of the Baldwin transfer locos, I think at the Redondo Jct roundhouse a couple of miles from Malabar Yard:

I have a DVD with railfan footage of one of these at Mission Tower in 1953, presumably working a transfer from Hobart Yard to LA's First Street Yard. I've also read that there was a fantrip in the early 1950s on Santa Fe's Harbor District that used one of these. So I'm hopeful I can find proof they ran regularly on the Harbor District, and possibly even on transfers to Malabar in that period. If so, it's Katy bar the door as far as trying to track down a model.
