Taylor Yard AC6000CW on Turntable

[CompassProductions73]

AWESOME VIDEO I work in this area and it's so sad to see this area like it is today. Now the turntables are gone i hope a railroad museum got them and they were not discarded

Yes - whole area is flattened. Very sad. Piece of LA History gone.

Nowadays, the buildings are gone.

You can always tell a true AC6000CW by looking at the exhaust stack. A true AC6000CW has 2 stacks side by side. The true AC6000CWs on Union Pacific are the 7500s.

Nice video...its nice to see what it looked like back in the day! Poor empty Taylor Yard...

[UnionPacificDash9]

Nice video! Not often you see new technology utilizing antiquated equipment. Love the high HP units!! UP forever!!

yea, that place is empty and nothing to see. The turntable is still there but not even Metrolink use it.

I saw AC6000 pulling Sunset Limited at the alhambra sub into L.A.

[sirbustor]

Should have checked it first - I will make the correction - thanks!

(GE C6044AC (AC6000CW) — 70 units
