[QUOTE]Originally posted by SteveD: [QB] Car counts alone along the I-5 can be decieving, although I used to watch them, too. There are two sequential storage tracks with one typically used to recieve the incoming Hauler cars and the other to accumulate outgoing cars. The two used to be seperated by a trestle over Carbon Creek where it emptied into Crescent Basin, but I believe that has been reduced to a mere culvert with fills on both sides. After reviewing Dave Crammer's 1995 article about operations of the Huntington Beach Local(which encompassed all the branches radiating out of Stanton) in "SP Rails--Motive Power Finale", I am reminded that of the two I-5 sidings mentioned above, the westernmost one was called "Long Pass" and the other or more eastern one "Extension" Even after the SPINS program redesignated them as north and south storage tracks, scanner observation between Hauler and yard office would typically reveal instructions like "train to the Pass, power to the wye".
