My grandfather was a maintenance yard forman for the P.E. I remember as a child he had all sorts of P.E. items that I guess were auctioned off when it shut down. I have his retirement watch and book showing numerous pictures of the various lines running thru the city and by the ocean. Does anyone else know/ or is it just a rumor that the redcars were dumped into the ocean off the coast years ago? I guess the idea was to make a reef or something. Gramps worked on other railroad cars, and once as a child we visited the railroad museum in Lomita and he told me to crawl under an engine and find his initials he had scratched there years ago. I found them, he said it was a custom for mechanics to do so when they worked on a car. I also understand there is a rumor of a terminal downtown with redcars still in it that is buried and sealed off? It would be a virtual time travel to enter that place if it exists. I dont know if it is true or not but I heard the rumor years ago.
