SoCal Odditites from the Weekend

This past weekend I braved the birthday parites and tots of Travel Town to get some shots of their rare EMD Model 40 Industrial Switcher.

With the crane.

I also got a shot of the abandoned Pacific Electric Bridge over Ballona Creek. This is probably going to be torn down soon.

And I got a Surfliner at Bob Hope Airport.

Finally - I just call this one, The Race Is On… Van Nuys, the weekend before.

Wow, you’re a bit of a traveller, I see. Checked out your shots on the Archives site. Loved the shot at Union Station (CO).

Thanks so much. That shot was on a nice warmish night (for Denver). Next day, the temps dropped into the zeros and I wasn’t going out at night anymore.
