Mission (Shops) Yard, Los Angeles, California - 1970

BAK-TF pool SD9 3959 leads a pigtrain off of the Valley Line and into Los Angeles.

This is still a big intermodal yard on the UP, but it is not far removed from its years as a coach yard when the photo above was taken. The gasometers are long gone, and the LA skyline, has of course, altered considerably.

The area today. Notice the lone Metrolink FP59 on the main.
