Street running Brand Blvd.
What is this contraption, a Plymouth or what? Who was getting freight service via Brand…Sears or ?? Is the PE-SP interchange yard still in play at the time of this photo?
The Plymouth Diesel is switching a few ice cooled refrigerator cars to a local packing house located in the San Fernando valley. The cars would be interchanged with the Southern Pacific at San Fernando.
