[HD] Santa Fe on the Los Angeles Junction Railway in Vernon, CA

Here is a video of the Los Angeles Junction Railway (LAJ) throughout various locations in the City of Vernon, CA. The Los Angeles Junction Railway is a terminal switching railway and wholly-owned subsidiary of BNSF, providing switching operating on 64 miles of track in the industrial cities of Vernon, Maywood, Bell, and Commerce, southeast of Downtown LA in an area known as the Central Manufacturing District. In this video, I chase the Y-VRN2271 Vernon Job around its areas of operation, serving industries such as General Mills, Pencco, Vernon Team Track, and World Oil Terminal. The power for this job is a pair of Ex-Santa Fe motors; GP60 160 featuring a Nathan P2 horn and GP50 3189. This was a rare sight, as most of the LAJ locomotives are rebuilt GP50s painted in the H4 scheme, and the Santa Fe GP60s are in the process of being repainted. Enjoy the sights and sounds of this local job switching on run-down industrial branchline trackage and blaring its horn for under-protected crossings with mechanical bells on busy urban streets.
