Thanks for all the comments folks. Sorry I could not get back here to finish up the images til now. Had a busy week that did not leave me much computer time at home.

       
Picking up in Wilmington with BNSF 7754 bringing in an Ethanol Express train to the Lomita Ethanol facility. I went for a long heated tele shot as I was board with the broadside view of this area on the east end.. then stuck around for them to come out the west end.

Since nothing else was going on I headed north along Alameda again.

   
Got a somewhat blurry tri-clops SD60M shot at the 405 which I am sharing for kicks.

       
Did a couple more shots of the patched Espee engines at Dominguez.

   
Back down in Long Beach there were some of the wind turbine bases loaded on flats being held captive so I snapped a shot or two as I drove by.

       
Back over at the BNSF Watson yard, one of the switch jobs was working so I snapped off a few images.

Finishing out my set are some images from Commerce. The last stop on my way home.

   
BNSF 7827 heading west.

   
BNSF 7387 doing much of the same thing.

   
If you have 5 cars on your train, you need to stop next to this sign to have them all next to the platform.

       
This train does not stop at the station platform... however it does provide the last image of my post.

Thanks for looking.

Nice shots Chris! I'm loving those 60Ms and the Triclops.

Nice "Double header" of thoughts patched SP units. It sure is an interesting area down there.
