Here's a link in Google's Picasa of some maps & pix of the Los Angeles Produce Terminal on the Los Angeles Junction Ry:

Will be modeling this on my 12' x 14' layout. There will be ALOT of selective compression. in fact only the docks W/ NO building and only 8 0f the 12 spurs will be modeled! Read the caption from the 10/03 Warbonnet article (5th image) about how the spurs were laid out & how the reefers were unloaded. The article was by Charlie Slater who was a conductor there 1970-1984. He also provided me w/ the LAJ Switching Map & notes for the Produce Lead. Will be doing a PowerPoint clinic on the LAJ at the NMRA PSR convention in Oxnard CA 9/5-9/9/12: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.psrnmra.org/">http://www.psrnmra.org/</a><!-- m -->
Alas the terminal is no more as seen in the last aerial.
