Here is a comprehensive chase of the UP LOA33R Los Nietos Switcher from Los Nietos Yard to South Gate, CA on the Patata Industrial Lead. This is a remote-controlled job, where train movement is made by the conductor and brakeman using an RC beltpack versus an engineer controlling from the cab. We start off at the yard at Los Nietos as it builds its set and spots an industry, following it as it shoves west down the Patata Industrial Lead, picking up an empty hopper from Leech Grain & Milling in Downey, then onto South Gate to pull an empty from Shultz Steel and spot loaded hoppers at PQ Corporation. The local then pulls back east to work Coca-Cola in Downey before making its final run back to Los Nietos. A pair of clean GP38-2s, including a fresh rebuild/repaint serve as power for this local. Thanks for watching!
