South Bay Area Locals
|
This list has been compiled by Matt Batryn and Nick George. Nick's site, South Bay Railfanning is a very good place to look for more information about railfanning in the south bay, and a potentially more up-to-date version of this list. The locals here are categorized by the facility which they originate from.
This list was last updated on: 2009-01-21
Note: 2014-07-05 This page is VERY out of date. A number of these jobs have been abolished and/or their scheduled have been changed. I will try to get an updated version put together one of these days.
