That's wild! I've never seen engines so blasted with graffiti like that. On the one hand I think it's super lame but on the other hand the whole visual scene of grimy industrial railroading mixed with sketchy socal street culture is uniquely fascinating. Awesome channel and new sub here.

Great coverage of the Torrance branch. I was an engineer on both the Torrance and El Segundo for years. One nice thing is the jobs no longer have the Gensets. 5 lumber loads for Crenshaw lumber. 4 tanks for Jones Chemical. Surprisingly the crew took the empty ethanol cars to Dolanco to runaround the cars. Our crew left them at the runaround at 76. The one car for US Gypsum we would shove it to old Torrance. Great video

I agree with you 1000%! That gang graffiti is ugly! Nothing good about it at all! Each year it costs the railroads $$$ to clean up that mess! A buddy of mine( who works for the Belt RR of Chicago) says that the scanners can't read the id tags on the freight cars because of the graffiti! If they want to tag something so bad, why don't they GO HOME AND TAG THEIR OWN HOMES with that bull@#$%! Where was the railroad police?

Amazing video and it was sad to see the locomotive being all tag up. The 2 Union Pacific locomotives with the one car crossing under the old bridge on Torrance Blvd was the old train bridge for Pacific Electric Red Car trolley back when. The name of the bridge is Pacific Electric Railroad Bridge that was built in 1913 if I remember this right. The tracks are still on top of the bridge last that I know. I"m a big fan of the Pacific Electric trolleys that are no longer in service. I have found out that some of the Pacific Electric trolleys are found at Southern California Railway Museum in Perris Ca, if anyone is a fan of Pacific Electric go check them out. They even have other trains as well. From my understanding is that they give train rides from the trolleys and the old steam locomotives. Thank you for posting this video. 😊

This train crew is pushing their luck, my employer requires the lights and bells to be activated for at least 30 seconds before occupying a public grade crossing. This rule is especially important to follow on industrial trackage were there may be restricted sightlines for motorists. At the very least the crew should stop before occupying the crossing and then proceed slowly.

The graffiti vandals apparently have enough uninterrupted time to completely paint the locomotives but if I'm on the property for thirty seconds to take a photo I'm chased off. The so called artists who do this don't get punished hard enough when they are caught, I bet if they painted a judge's car or house the same way they graffiti railroad or public property they would be old men by the time they got out of jail.
