Grew up around some of the last remaining active steam locomotives, in the early 50's. Grandfather worked for the railroads from before WW1 in Mississippi, through Oklahoma after serving in France, then on to working in the yards in California from 38' until his retirement in 62', worked in the old Tayler yards in Glendale, CA not far from the old Lockheed plant, none of it there any more, neither the rail yard or the Lockheed plant.
Link Greatly reduced in size from the war years, and completely gone today except for a few rusty spikes and signs of its once existence amongst the weeds.
And the old Lockheed plant which I helped close down and amongst one of the most polluted piece of property's in the Los Angeles county area at that time.
