Here's what I think I've figured out about LA:
1. WCLB goes to Long Beach, basically Alameda Corridor to disappear for our purposes.
Easy. If they ever add Long Beach, extreme confusion will result.
2. WCLA looks like it goes to J-Yard, which is pretty small for the traffic I think it needs to handle. I can't find recent evidence of the WCJY on railpictures, my primary news source for things like this. (Although maybe it shouldn't be.) 4th St yard looks like a better candidate and my guess would be Weeds, but I honestly can't find definitive info about where this train goes.
3. WCCI would logically go to the freight yard next to the CI intermodal facility. I'm now realizing I haven't added any CI intermodal trains on my single-player ops, ever since Mike brought up how under-represented Alhambra Sub traffic is on the SRS server.
Do I have this close to correct? I'm also imagining a time in the not-too-distant future where all of this work is handled by a LB local, picking up and setting out everywhere. Of course, taking 8-10k feet of train (it would likely be BIG) through the heart of Los Angeles and stopping every 5-10 miles seems like operational suicide.
