Railfanning Los Angeles - Redondo Junction 1/30/2023

Spending the day at Redondo Junction, a bustling railroad junction in Los Angeles, was a fun experience. Filming the diverse array of trains, including BNSF, Union Pacific, Amtrak, and Metrolink, against the backdrop of the iconic Downtown Los Angeles Skyline was truly mesmerizing. Among the notable sightings were the F59PHR SCAX 873, Ferromex, YJY68, LOW10, and an empty coal train. However, the area has since implemented heightened railroad security, rendering the filming process no longer feasible in the same manner. Nonetheless, the memories of witnessing the vibrant train traffic in that unique setting will forever remain cherished.

Not too common to see a ferromex train in California or the United States!
