Speaking for Flash, I believe he referred to Alameda Street, which runs alongside Dolores Yard. This is the streat which gave the name to the Alameda Corridor, a major rail connection between the LA/Long Beach ports and the BNSF/UP yards near the 5/710 junction.
That's what I get for trusting data on the internet. Oh well...I guess we should ask Henry to update the HO Sam web site: http://www.hosam.com/ emd
Yes. I used to take the "Alemeda" exit there and I just presumed Alemeda, CA was around there somewhere. I remember City of Industry, too. There was a lot of rails in there.
