Transferring to a narrow gauge flat car under wire--has to be an LARy (Los Angeles Railway-3'6" gauge) destined transformer.....

This photo can be enlarged quite a bit.

Unloading the load:

My guess the receiving flat car is on Pacific Electric track and the load is destined for a PE substation. Only speculation on my part.
