Photos... 2nd La Mirada at CP Valley View

[chris_wlkr]

Last Tuesday I hung around La Mirada for a bit after work to get some images. The 4th La Mirada was working around the yard and I was watching them from Gannet Street while waiting for the 2nd La Mirada to return from Santa Fe Springs.

Here are the images of the matching pair of warbonnets that were leading the 2nd La Mirada local back on the 6th of July.

CP Valley View is on the BNSF San Bernardino sub for those who may not know... just west of La Mirada yard.

The 2LM passing me from my vantage point.

And lastly a shot of the power tied down with their caboose making a nice set of red.
   

Thanks for looking.

For those of us unfamiliar with the area- what necessitates the caboose on that job? I'm guessing a long shove, if so, how long are we talking?

[chris_wlkr]

Shoving.. yes that is correct. Couple miles east and west for most of the locals.
