I used to throw my son (2 at the time) on my shoulders and walk down to where you've got the pin for switching area #6. The oleanders along the fence were pretty thick but you could hear if something was coming, then watch as it zoomed by. I caught the local switch job at work a couple times, but only got it on film once, I think. If you know where to look (almost due E of pin #6, there's a green blob) you can see Windermere Park and the church where I worked, along with the parsonage where we lived.

Hey Galen, so this is where you used to live? I had heard you lived somewhere out here near LA and Orange County, but i wasnt sure exactly where. My grandparents own and rent a house out in Yorba Linda (was almost lost in the Fires last year....) which isnt too far from La Mirada (at least it doesnt look like it following the tracks lol). Thanks for the tips on where to go
I hope to make a trip out there soon, maybe next time i go visit my grandparents at there Tustin house i can convince my grandma to drive me out there so i can get some shots lol
