Here were a couple of comments on the original post. These comments
appeared on the Pacific Electric Railway group at: http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/PEry/ Bob Chaparro Hemet, CA ===================== The fact that there is electric overhead in the photo means that the photo was not taken at Los Alamitos. It could have been on the Santa Ana - Huntington Beach line, which was built largely to serve a beet growing area. The PE did operate between Huntington Beach and a sugar factory at La Bolsa on a SP branch and it is possible that a beet loader could have been located on the Santa Ana line, but I have not seen any record of one.
