[QUOTE]Originally posted by atsf3751: [QB] Jeff, I can tell you that the BP Switcher is a Sunday-Friday job and appears to work in the mornings and evenings mostly. Most of the switching is concentrated around the Southern Pacific Industrial Complex, but they do go up about as far as Beach Blvd. where cars are occasionally stored. I believe they may also switch the Ganahl Lumber (formerly Buena Park Lumber) hardware store there. There are also a couple of industries in Santa Fe Springs and Norwalk, although I don't know how far down they go. I've seen them work about up to Carmenita, maybe a little past that. I know there is another switch job out of Los Nietos that does Norwalk, although I've never followed that one. I never had much luck getting action photos of the BP Switcher, although I did catch them idling quite often. There used to be a hauler train that ran specifically for the Buena Park area, but this has been long gone. Now the Anaheim Hauler drops cars for the BP Switcher and picks up empties on the way out. I'm pretty sure Long Pass siding in Anaheim is only for the Malboro, Costa Mesa, and HB locals, or they would never get all the cars to fit there. [/QB][/QUOTE]
